Weather in Brum Where The Sun Always Shines On The Blues.

Phil Ochs.

 Even after these long years, songs keep turning up by this prolific but haunted young man who sadly took his own life. Disenchanted with war and suffering and his inability to change things through the power of song his long and sad decline was to end in suicide. But he left behind a legacy of meaningful and poignant songs, which have never dated. This is a recent discovery which is very meaningful to someone of my great age. Remember the lesson too, "Gather ye rosebuds while ye may" or as the posh people say, "Carpe deum".



There is only one mankind.
