I was'nt there at the time. I think I was 14 years old and living as an Army brat (well RCAF brat really) in northeast France.

I did hear a song attributed to Chad Mitchell's Trio - and it must be about my only recollection of the group. I don't know the name of the song - I don't see anything in the songbooks listed above which hint at it.

The song was a "talking blues" that went

>> For a long time now I've been aware that I'm so hip, the rest of the world is square.

I want to tell all you people, and just take my tip, It doesn't pay to be too hip. <<

Was this really a Chad Mitchell song? or am I fuddled in a thirty year old memory?

It is a great lyric - there is more & I think I even remember most of it - if anyone wants it. It truly is amazing what you remember from when you were young enough that it really mattered. Isn't it?
