My first and only band was called the Lunatic Fringe. We did very weird and usually anti-establishment numbers, often old-timey, bluegrass, or blues based. Our signature piece was called "Who's Been F---ing with My Guitar?" Another was "I'm Proud to Be a Commie from Long Island." We also did "Mr. Owsley" and "Passing Boo." That was 1968-1969.

There has been a report of late that I have been working with an "Irish girl band." In reality it is just three women who have backed me up with fiddle, flute, and vocals. But that's not a bad name for our group -- Steve Suffet and the Irish Girl Band -- even though only one of them is Irish, and that's only by ancestry on one side of her family.
