Tom Rawson performs at 8pm Saturday at the Park. Witty, energetic, and armed with banjo, lap dulcimer, and guitar, he takes the stage to warm applause from the crowd who has turned out to see him. Tom and this audience are made for each other. They know lots of songs and heck, they’ll sing along even when you don’t ask them to. I’ve seen some performers taken aback by this. Not Tom. His grin broadens as the harmonies swell. He teases them, singing one called “This is NOT a sing along!” You got it: they sing along anyway, getting louder and fuller as Tom more stridently insists that this is NOT a sing along!
