Club Passim is alive and well. Tom Paxton lives in Alexandria, VA.
Still going strong.

And indeed I first heard him at the Club 47 (after it moved behind the Coop) in the mid-1960's. By the late 1980's the venue had become Passim, sort of a successor, and that may well be gone by now. A dollar a head back then, except when Judy Collins performed, when it was $2. As one of the local broadcasters where I grew up used to say, if you remember _____, you're younger with your hat on.
