Never thought to pay attention to the AUTHORS....perhaps records were available...but our miniscule monies went for the tantalizing albumns such as "Sergent Pepper"

But most everthing in the LA FREEP (with chords and tab) was prone to our interpretations(Los Angeles Free Press) of the late 60's....and the broadsides that went with it.

I.E.

Got a Letter From LBJ
Nancy Brown in the Hills of West Virginy
Ho Ho Ho Chi Minh
We Will<> And a Dozend More

Never noticed Paxton, or Ochs name connected to our favorites (until the DT/MC) in those days if it WAS played on main stream radio....(KPFK Pacifica was OK)we DID NOT play it....to be "hip" it had to be "underground"
