Bruce Barthol

Bruce kindly autographed a few things for me over the years; I always dug His part in CJ&TF. His Rise And Fall cd is fantastic. I miss that he´s not around these parts

Hoping to get Bruce to sign the CJ&TF ep i bought his cd The Decline and Fall Of Everything out of obligation !. He kindly signed both and that cd has been a favorite since. Although I never met him it still feels like a personal loss

Lime Kiln Creek around 1966? The Fish played a small party, amplified outside under the stars. I was there with my Santa Cruz best friend, Patti, who was with Country Joe at the time. Everyone but Bruce and i was paired up. We stayed up under the redwoods talking most of the night. He was wrestling with big questions. I was a kind ear that beautiful night. He wanted to leave the band and marry. I never forgot the earnest, thoughtful young man. I'm glad to hear all his...

my wife just passed away and this is sad to hear. no bruce on bass no country joe and the fish. sad gary chicken has passed

I played music with Bruce in Bay Area Progressive Musicians Association (BAPMA) for many years. We played marches (Cesar Chavez called us his official marching band) and sit-down concerts in support of the struggles of many seeking justice. We played often at La Pena Cultural Center in Berkeley. I am hoping there will be a memorial for Bruce, and perhaps a reunion of BAPMA to commemorate him. In solidarity, Paula ([email protected])

We met Bruce when he came to Tahoe with The Country Joe Band. He was engaging funny and we stayed in touch. Later, he appeared on my Internet radio show and told some great stories. He was a talent musically and verbally, a real icon of the 1960's and beyond....RIP Bruce-Jack & Jo

I am so sorry to hear that Bruce has died. I never met him, but was a huge fan of his work with the Fish, the Mime Troupe and Spanish Civil War veterans. I was actually down in Sebastopol a few days before Bruce died. I called his phone number, hoping we could get together, having been invited to do so after I recorded a radio interview with him that was broadcast in February 2021. I am so sorry I missed him. I will post a link to the interview at www.theradicalsongbook.com in April. As Woody...
