Ed Askew was an art teacher in Connecticut when he started performing live in 1966. Outsider folk music played with a Martin Tiple and Ed's unique voice.

He's seen a resurgence in popularity in recent years, releasing new music in the last decade.

The title and cover art are taken from a re-press on ESP Disk in the 90's.

Very sad to hear about the passing of David Crosby this week. He had a very full life and lived longer than everyone expected.

This blog already has some Byrds and some unreleased recordings from Cros that can be found here.

This live boot from 1970 finds Crosby and The Grateful Dead together on stage. The Dorks were a short lived band, playing only two or three concerts (no one can remember). Recorded around the time of the sessions for 'If I Could Only Remember My Name...'.

Thanks for all the music, Cros.
