Phil Ochs would have been 75 years old in Dec 2015. I gather there are several Phil Ochs song nights taking place in the US this year. I just read of one scheduled for 7 Nov. at 81 Renshaw St, Liverpool, England.
It will be a fundraiser for a suicide prevention charity.

from Facebook page: "£3 in - all profits in aid of C.A.L.M (https://www.thecalmzone.net/) - a registered charity, which exists to prevent male suicide in the UK.

"In 2013, male suicide accounted for 78% of all suicides and is the single biggest cause of death in men aged 20 – 45 in the UK."

List of performers not scheduled yet, I only read hints that it would be a good cast.

Phil's song When I'm Gone is one of my favourite songs of all time. Especially as sung by him, though Dick Gaughan also more than did it justice. It's on YouTube.

I still sing his "ballad of Lou Marsh" and remember him in concert together with Doc Watson in Manchester ( I think ) in the late 60s.

I used to sing "The Ballad of Lou Marsh", and "The Highwayman" and "The Pleasures of the Harbour", and "When I'm Gone" and, and...

BTW, the concert with Doc Watson was 1965, at the Free Trade Hall.

Jeez,Frank, was it really '65? Doesn't time fly when you are enjoying yourself?
