Milkwood: "Lincoln Park" (written by Benjamin Orr)
"Lincoln Park" might be the only song that Benjamin wrote that made it to vinyl while he was collaborating with Ric Ocasek. Milkwood consisted of Ric Ocasek (Richard Otcasek), Jim "Jas" Goodkind, and Benjamin Orr (Orzechowski). The band landed a record deal with Paramount and recorded their one and only album, How's the Weather, in the fall of 1972. "Lincoln Park" is track 3 of 10. For more background information on Milkwood, check out this interview between Alan Fields and the only surviving member of the trio, Jim Goodkind: https://sweetpurplejune.wordpress.com/2023/01/19/alan-fields-digs-into-milkwood/ Beach photo courtesy of Eron Otcasek; used with permission.
