Mock Duck

Joe Mock album cover from rateyourmusic 

In 1967, the year I went to UBC, Joe Mock was playing with a psychedelic band called Mock Duck. The band included a dulcimer, and could be heard around the university area.

Mock later joined with Rick Scott and Shari Ulrich to form a folk trio called Pied Pumpkin. Mock and Scott also played as a duo under the name of Pied Pear.

Mock later lived and made music in Japan and France, and can still be seen on occasion playing with his old band-mates.

In 2000, Pied Pumpkin did a concert tour and produced a new CD. In my neighbourhood, they did a great concert at the Surrey Arts Centre.
