Ohil Ochs was absolutely one of the greatest. He was also a great guy to know and pick guitars with. I just ran across an old hit parader magazine where they were trying to make him into "the next dylan". Absolutely mindblowing. Does Michael still have Elvises' gold suit? Just wondering..
Peace and Justice,
Bartholomew Bishop
Although he passed before i was even born his music inspires and excites me every day. If you have a space for music, my friend and i did a cover of Another Age and i could send you the mp3. Thanks for adding me to the list of fans!!
Thanks for the add to a tribute to a great singer/songwriter who left us too soon.
