Country Joe McDonald

Post by Lee Baucum »

Lee, from South Texas - Down On The Rio Grande

There are only two options as I see it.

Little known fact: The first lineup of Country Joe and the Fish formed in mid-1965, when Country Joe McDonald (vocals, acoustic guitar) and Barry "The Fish" Melton (lead guitar, vocals) came together as a duo.
