Thread Name: Mitchell Trio Songbook?
Subject: RE: Mitchell Trio Song Book?
Speaking of Billie Ssol Estes, the late Allen Sherman also made fun of him in this ditty (to the tune of "Billy Boy"): Oh, what have you done, Bilie Sol, Billie Sol Oh, what have you done charming Billy? You took almost every cent From the U.S. government Which you spent on fertilizer, which is silly.

The Chad Mitchell Trio recorded an album at my alma mater, Brooklyn College. there's a pictureof them on the cover standing on the lawn in front of LaGuardia Hall. Intil the revolution, a few years later, they were only ones who ever got to walk on the campus grass. I used to have the LP but it's gone now. I do have a 45 of "The John Birch Society," which I copied and gave to a collegaue who's working on his master's thesis in history. He was very grateful. His topic is the John Birch Society.
