I saw Phil at the wonderful, LaCave, in Cleveland. He was a powerful performer. His guitar work was clean and cutting, and his voice was clear and strong. He enunciated his words perfectly so that his songs told their stories. I will never forget it or seeing him in the audience between sets, laughing and smoking cigarettes . . . . His playing I Ain't A'Marching Anymore and "Is there anybody here" is emblazoned in my memory forever. I have played guitar since 1964, and I still play his songs. I always will. I saw a lot of unbelievable folks at La Cave: Odetta, Bob Gibson, Simon and Garfunkel (just before they hit it big), Josh White, Ian & Sylvia, the Blues Project, and others. Ochs was right up there with them. I remember the day he died like yesterday. Oh, how we need him now. His lyrics still resonate deeply. We still are the Cops of the World, aren't we!
