: One of the prettiest songs John Stwewart ever wrote. He wrote it with John Phillips
: from the Mamas and Papas out on Sausalito bay one afternoon when he (John Stewart)
: was a member of the famed Kingston Trio in the 19060s. They'd borrowed a rowboat
: from Nick Reynolds (one of the other guys in The Kingston Trio) and rowed out about
: two miles in shorts and t-shirts to go fishing, not knowing the weather was about to
: change. About an hour later, the winds picked up and the temperature dropped
: considerably. At some point, one of them said, "Geez, these are really chilly
: winds." To which the other replied, "Hey, that's a great title for a
: song." Because they didn't have anything to write on, they ended up rowing over
: to The Kingston Trio's secretary's (Charlotte Larson) house and (according to
: Charlotte) wrote about 50 verses. The best recording of the song is on The Kingston
: Trio's College Concert album recorded live at UCLA in 1962.
