John Stewart, Lead Singer for the Kingston Trio (sort of) cont'd
I hear is performing at the Mall in DC this weekend. In the off change that the rest of the group shows up (those who are still alive), I'll be there. If you happen to be a Kinsgston Trio fan too and you will be there, let me know, perhaps we can meet.

It's a "must see" concert…he died in 2008.
Jon Stewart's "Restore the Sanity" rally is probably worth visiting this weekend.
My dad and Betsy are heading down to DC - should be interesting to hear about it
When the Kingston Trio disbanded in 1967, John Stewart launched his solo career. To my knowledge, he was the only Kingston Trio member to meet with any success after the break up. His perhaps most popular tune, released in 1979, was "Gold." Which contained the following memorable lines:
Well my buddy Jim Bass he's a-workin' pumpin gas
And he makes two fifty for an hour
He's got rythm in his hands as he's tappin' on the cans
Sings rock and roll in the shower
Just a shout out. The Washington rally is live on the NYT site. It is quite good.
