I had the good fortune of having dinner with Country Joe McDonald a few years ago. I told him how much I admired Pat's Song and asked him how he came to write the organ bridge part of the song. He told me that John Fahey had come to a concert without a guitar (!) and had borrowed Joe's. When Joe got it back, it was in a new and different tuning that he'd never run across before. He left it that way for several weeks and, while noodling around with it, he was inspired to write this song.

[GeorgiaTheJellyhead]

woah that pictures trippy

[googpower]

cool song i know the drummer hes really cool he has kids and one of them works at infinity ward which makes call of duty...kinda ironic isnt it

I onnly know this because I knew his daughter

[squarepyramid99]

So...you can ask Ms.. Hirsch why the Hell her dad was called "Chicken... Hirsch"!!

[googpower]

@squarepyramid99 Late response brother but got the answer. Him, his brother Larry, and dad Bernie all were into jazz and called each other with nicknames relating to a local jazz club. Gary was Chic, and Larry was Mic and the dad Bernie was thick papa. During the photoshoot of their first album cover they asked him for a nickname and when he gave them chic they somehow thought it was chicken. :) Good day man :)

[gayskunk]

@googpower that's kewl, dude. I love this band and that game. I owe a lot of thanks to that family. :P

[eoswald203]

CJ and the Fish's first album (electric music) was sensational, and i like 4-5 songs of their second album (fix'n to die)....... but does anyone know much about the quality of album's AFTER fixin to die?

[squarepyramid99]

Are u asking Me?

The album after "Fixin to Die" was called "Together". It can't be said to be as good as the 2 previous, BUT had "Streets of our Town", "Waltzin' In the Moonlight", which are classics and maybe "Cetacean"..."Away Bounce my Bubbles"...worthy to hear and probably get. After THAT was a line-up change, in which various members of Janis Joplin's backing band Big Brother entered. They produced the 4th album "CJ Fish"...honestly i have never heard it,nor any of the following ones!

[SalsaAdam]

@squarepyramid99 CJ FIsh is absolutely amazing. Barry melton is just incredible on it.

[doomy1975]

@eoswald203 I like every album released by Country Joe and I get 22 albums out of 27 !!

[01FV]

very interesting and educational too

thank you for posting these gems to the ear

[WierdDreamer]

So Beautiful!!!

Country joe And The Fish Rule!!

[wireandwood]

heard this played by John Peel about, ooh, fifteen years ago, and have not known the name of the track for that length of time... half my life i've been looking for this you could say! ha ha

[OMBIC]

bring flowers ehh? hehe GW

[missmonsy]

I love the guitarists use of major scales in this song. I also like the effects he uses, the organ blends right into the guitar solo. groovy song!

[captainsoul1953]

an amazing album...still have the Fish Game poster freebie

Jim

[ahiako]

i love this song

[TPC413]

where can i get this song?

[Pumper4]

Their Fixin' to Die album.

Melton and Cohen were so great together.

[fatdanios]

This is from the Country Joe and the Fish second album entitled "I Feel Like I'm Fixin' to Die"

[bluesdude14]

I like the song,, although I think the organ is a bit overpowering at times

[johnshivs]

Just love this song.....

[zeelik]

Her smile will color the sky.....

[malachaivideos]

Thanks for the song! Beautiful. But with this image I have a headache. Cheers!

[enorbet2]

Hey SquarePyramid many thanks! Although I still have a working turntable and a usable copy of the 1st two LPs, I fervently believe this music should last much longer and it only will through grass roots (both?) It amazes me often what gets lost and what lingers and CJ is right IMHO to wonder why they didn't get bigger even though the abrupt abandonment of psychedelia for rock 'n soul had something to do with it. I'd love to see Eastern Jam, Rock Coast Blues, etc here....

[Leaveitago]

I put up Rock Coast Blues if you're interested. Great song. Underrated songs and band.

[bassandguitarguy]

Sit in your room in the dark or light one candle. Also if you listen to this LP 1st left speaker only, hen right, it's a trip! Definitely a mood song. A great Album from an incredibly creative time in music history!

[wrzlbrmfttttttttt]

This was one of my favourite songs when I was released.

[squarepyramid99]

Released from what and where and whom? Wondering what kind of criminal you were??? Doesn't matter too much, as long as u didn't murder music.

[kamelcid]

@squarepyramid99 i think he meant it was released... :?

[markrothkopf]

i`m continuously amazed by what shows up on you tube...gret songs that never got air time while very often typical mediocre stuff you hear over and over. if i was a dj youd hear this, youd hear jefferson airplane`s version of wooden ships to name just a couple of the many great but never heard. bravo for posting this.thanks

[Jenscool]

I can dig it!

[Olaffbog]

Thank you for sharing; this is one of my favourite country joe and the fish songs. I salute your taste in music too. More power to ya!

[squarepyramid99]

Memories are my stock-in-trade. Glad to have stirred a few good ones!

[nedphoenix]

This was one of my favorite songs when it was released. I completely forgot about it! Saw Pat's song on the playlist and thought "didn't I used to know that song?" I was stunned at the memories it brought back, my tastes seem to have changed somewhat since the day, but still not a bad song. My thanks for posting it. I used to drive my parents crazy with this song, now that I am their age, I understand what they were putting up with. (Somewhat, at least) Peace out.
