John tells a story of... an early morning driver on an LA freeway stopping to pick up a beautiful hitchiker. "Where you going?" "Oregon, mister where you going?" "Well, hell I was going out to get cigarettes but I guess I can go to Oregon." And with that they break into "July You're a Woman." I miss him. RIP big guy.
Filmed on August 18, 2007 - according to the poster the last time they played on stage together.

Sadly, while the poster kept two very good (clean) jokes, he cut the song (Where Have All the Flowers Gone) short!

Kingston Trio video found on YouTube - dunno why, but this comment made me think of Kimmer.....
HEHEHEHEHE ... We saw these guys in concert back in 2003 and again in 2004. Great evenings of music. Nothing like hearing them sing Scotch and Soda.
Wow. I've never heard them sing July You're a Woman, and I can't find it at Amazon. Might have to check iTunes store.
And thanks to Neil, I'm now listening to The Kingston Trio, and my collection includes Where Have All the Flowers Gone.

Can't find the Kingstons singing it, but have found the John Stewart solo version, and very pleasant it is too! Hope you enjoy it.
For Bob: Bob Shane doing Scotch and Soda way back when we were all a little bit younger....
But I can't find the Kingstons doing Green Onions
One of our BBC channels is showing excerpts tonight from the Cambridge Folk Festival, featuring Booker T Jones and the Fabulous Thunderbirds. Guess he decided MGs were not flashy enough

I've just been listening to Joan Armatrading talking to some of her favourite guitarists - including Bert Jansch, Mark Knopfler, John Williams and Bonnie Raitt, in separate programmes - about their choices of instrument and their techniques. Fascinating even if I didn't understand the technical stuff

I saw the Kingston trio on stage in the 60"s - they put on a great show, and their wonderful songs. Besides "Scotch and Soda"I also like "Where Have all the Flowers Gone". Kathy

So, I was completely flabbergasted at myself, when I found myself buying Tori Amos's "Midwinter Graces". It is an astoundingly gorgeous compilation of Christmas ("Holiday" for the PC crowd!) songs with brilliant instrumentation and orchestration. Tori's keyboard ability is amazing, as is the sound of her Bosendorfer 11' grand with an extra octave in the bass. . . She does an amazing job of creating a magical, musical environment for the season. Warning: right smack in the middle of this production, for some odd reason, she dropped in a big band arrangement of a "torch song"; kind of like something that you'd expect off a Sinatra disc. It's very well done, but doesn't seem to "fit" with the rest of the disc, however, it may be one of the 2 "bonus" cuts that you get with the Border's edition. Happy listening, y'll!

Amazon seems to have changed its sampler system since the last time I visited. Used to play as soon as you clicked on the title - now it takes you to a separate page just for that title and you need to click Preview.

I think I could reform myself in big ways if I could learn to play like this guy!
