Thread Name: ADD: Songs from Utah Phillips' first album
Subject: RE: ADD: Songs from Utah Phillips' first album
Utah hated that recording, he would break every copy he ran across. People he stayed with when he was touring knew to hide their copy when he was due to arrive. He had the cover in his record collection with a notation "Try and find this turkey". I found a copy on Ebay (cost me $27). When I informed Bruce of my find he asked what I was going to do with it. "Bootleg Cd's". He replied "I'd have to kill you!" After he died his widow Joanna made me promise. I don't think the record is as bad as he thought, but when he would criticize my song writing we would start sing the chorus to YURI GAGARIN, which Utah would refer to as GARGLE MY URINE.
