Subject: RE: I just discovered Phil Och's music
I loved Phil Ochs. I saw him in Manchester, England in 1965. Back then, his songs were regularly sung in English folkclubs. His musical setting of the poem "The Highwayman" was also a club favourite. They called Dylan a protest singer - but Phil was THE protest singer! Marvellous stuff!
