Thread Name: I just discovered Phil Och's music
Subject: RE: I just discovered Phil Och's music
I never met Phil Ochs or saw him perform in person, but-somehow when I was a young adult-I got a hold of a record of his. This and a record by the Black female singer Odetta were my first introductions to what I think of as folk music.

I still remember two songs on that Phi Ochs album-"Knock on the door" {one line I remember "Knock on the door, here they come for just one more, one more"}-about how those in power target & arrest [or kill] individuals from groups who oppose them}and "Celia"
{one line from that song "oh when will Celia come to me"}-about the government not allowing lovers to be together because of the political activism of one of them.

I have no idea the name of that album, but if I could locate a CD of that album, I would buy it in a heart beat.
