Notes
East of Woodstock, West of Viet Nam (Russell, Tom) Post-war, singer-songwriter. "Slept through the Nineteen Sixties, I heard Dory Previn say But me I caught me the great white bird, to the shores of Africay Where I lost my adolescent heart, to the sound of a talking drum Yeah, East of Woodstock, West of Vietnam.... Raise high the roof beams carpenter boy, yeah were coming through the rye It was a moveable feast of war and memory, a dark old lullaby It was the smoke of a thousand camp fires, it was the wrong end of a gun, Yeah, East of Woodstock, West of Vietnam" [From Justin A. Brummer notes from RYM]
