“Janis” by Country Joe & The Fish, from I Feel Like I’m Fixin’ to Die (rel late, 1967)

And flashing light she came
Into my life with the twist of a dial
The wave of her hand, the warmth of her smile.
Who Are Free Design (1967-1972)?
Text by Bruce Gallanter (Downtown Music Gallery, August 22, 2024)
“The Hook” by Free Design . From their reunion album, Cosmic Peekaboo (released in 2001)

Kind of short on meaning but the beat goes on
You really have to love them – but not for very long
They’d like to thank their managers
And fans, and friends and yawn…
