Boy In Ohio

Back for the month of May to celebrate five years of Dye Mad Yarns! 

"Creek was running by the road
And the Buckeye sun was a-shinin'
I rode my bike down Alum Creek Drive
When I was a boy in Ohio"

Phil Ochs was a singer-songwriter/protest songwriter in the 1960s and 1970s and would probably be a lot more well known a la Pete Seeger, Joan Baez, Bob Dylan and the like had he not succumbed to alcoholism and died by suicide in 1976 at the age of 25. His best-known songs include "I Ain't Marching Anymore", "When I'm Gone", "Changes", "Crucifixion", "Draft Dodger Rag", "Love Me, I'm a Liberal", and plenty more. 

He is also from Ohio and has a song looking back on his boyhood in Ohio. He was even principal soloist for clarinet with Capital University's orchestra at the age of 16. 

Our Boy in Ohio yarn is a speckly yarn with spring green, berry red, splashes of steel blue, hints of 'burger boy' brown.
