Thread Name: Songs for/about Phil Ochs
Subject: RE: Songs for/about Phil Ochs
I'm having great fun pursueing this thread, I've discovered a couple of one verse songs from Mike Miller I didn't know existed and I'm on the track (if you'll excuse the pun) of yet another song which was set to the tune of 'I Dreamed I Saw Phil ochs Last Night'. Of the now 34 songs, I have the lyrics for 28, and recordings of 24. However, I still have no information on the 5 I listed at the start of the thread, which is a bit disappointing.
For Phil and Others by The Blanks (on 'If This Had been an Actual Emergency') Tribute to Phil Ochs by Jack Honig (on 'Mirror Image') Song for Phil by Richard Nardin (on 'Pencil Lines') Remember Phil Ochs by The Voice of Reason (on 'Voice of Reason') Death of a Rebel by Bruce Pegg (on 'Brief Encounter')
I have emailed two different groups called The Blanks, and if you'll excuse another pun, I'm afraid I've drawn a BLANK. Both said that they admired Phil's work, neither had written the song, and both wished me luck in my quest. Rog
