Felipa Obit: Milt Okun (1923-2016) (18) RE: Obit: Milt Okun (1923-2016) 20 Nov 16


Tom Paxton, interviewed in 2015:
"My idol was Pete Seeger, even before I moved to the Village. He still is. My mentor was Milt Okun, who became my music publisher for fifty years. He was the musical director for the Chad Mitchell Trio, Peter, Paul & Mary, John Denver, and too many more to name. As an arranger and producer, he was a very important fellow and one of the sweetest, nicest people you could meet. Most importantly, he was a sucker for my jokes. He's still with us, in his 90s, living in Beverly Hills."

I recognised the name Milt Okun, probably saw it several times on LP album cover credits.
