I remember Phil and Tom from those days in the Village. They were 2 bright stars in my folk-singing firmament. To my mind it's especially fitting for Tom to do this tribute. Too few people remember how great Ochs really was, and we didn't get to see the best of him.

Very underrated contributor to the folk scene of the 80"s - brings back many memories of when I was 17 listening to his songs over and over again.

@allenshepard Mine too - I sat with my guitar and his albums and learned all the songs... he was bipolar but not on medication and that unfortunately was both his genius and his downfall. I hope he found peace.
