The Moog was hardly new in '75 when Hissing came out. Among it's
first uses in pop music was 6 years before on "Abbey Road" ("Maxell's
Silver Hammer", "Here Comes The Sun"). Walter
Carlos' "Switched on Bach" was wildly successful a year or two
before that. The Moody Blues, Yes, Pink Floyd, King Crimson
etc. had been using them for quite some time. "Dark Side of the
Moon" and "Close to the Edge" were released in '73.

You are referring, I think, to John Stewart.
Too bad about John Hartford, a fine and original songwriter.

Blue Motel Room is not melodic? Black Crow is not melodic?
Song For Sharon and Strange Boy are not melodic?
Hejira? Refuge? Someone get my smelling salts.....

"Red Tailed Hawk", with the tag line
"In the golden rollin' hills of California" is a hauntingly beautiful
song, and probably Kate's best known track. It was written
by George Schroder.
