I saw an interesting program last night on TLC about the evolution of the Greenwich Village mid-sixties folk scene.It concentrated on John Phillips and his stints with The Journeymen, Mugwumps, and finally The Mamas and the Papas. Other seminal Folk-Rock and Blues artists like Barry McGuire, John Sebastian, Zal Yanofsky, and Al Kooper were also sighted in the documentary. I had never realized that the Mugwumps included John and Denny from the Mamas and Papas as well as John and Zal from the Spoonful. It occurred to me that the song by Mamas and Papas, Creeque Alley, documents this era, and I'm interested in re-examining it in the light of the program.

Anybody have the words? Or any additional info about this fascinating period in NYC?
