I belive that the songs came from many places.
But, I'm inclinded to belive that Dave was a researcher....he went looking ...
Whereas, the songs came to Bob and Nick mostly through other people.
I don't knopw why during NBJ they used current song writers....
I think it was said that all of the old good stuff was all used up and gone... they and everyone else had found it ..
Shane said that the mistale they made was not writing all of their songs themselves....to this I'd say Bob... easier said than done.
Rollin River was the only song that ever came close to being a Trio song after 1967...
The two CDs that were made by George, Bill and Rick were .... interesting....but nothing like The Kingston Trio.
Because .... George, Bill and Rick were George, Bill and Rick.
They weren't Dave, Bob, Nick, or John.
Or whatever whole that was bigger than its parts.

End of story.
