I learned to play guitar thru a TV course, and the first song was one of Phil's.

During the summer of 68 I worked for the National Mobilization Committee in Chicago, and Phil periodically turned up at our offices on S. Dearborn Street. I was just a flunky, but he was very pleasant to me.

During the Convention demonstrations, I held one of the speakers when Phil sang in front of the Conrad Hilton Hotel. I seem to remember he sang "The War is over," and maybe "I Ain't Marching." Until that moment, I never really understood the potential music has to impel action; it was amazing to see.
