Insect Trust

[Adam H. Swinson]

I bought an Insect Trust album, recorded, methinks, in '69. Bought it in
the *Psychedelic* section of a record shop in West Hollywood. Alas, it was
not the hypnotic tonic I was looking for at the time, more of a droning
folk music, with  a lilting, ephemeral female singer. I wish I had held on
to it now, of course.
