   Of all the "topical" singer-songwriters in the Village in the '60s Mark   
   Spoelstra was one of the best, writing-wise, voice-wise, and playing wise.   
      
   He also lived up to his words and was a conscientious objector which is   
   probably why he is amongst the least known of that group of people.   
      
   His song "Civil Defense Sign" was one of the standouts on Broadside Vol 1.,   
   and his album 5 & 20 Questions, which featured liner notes by Richard Farina   
   still holds up today.   
      
   I was lucky enough to see him play in a little club in Oakland, California a   
   long time ago.   
      
   Curiously this obit doesn't mention he was a minister for the past 20 years.
