I was a kid back then, but trust me, Dave Guard’s departure from the most popular act in show business was a big story. Almost as shocking as the breakup of Martin and Lewis. I remember some older teenagers discussing it like it was yesterday. To put this in perspective, when the Kingston Trio finally broke up in 1967, I wasn’t aware of it for years....
What was your first reaction/impression that Dave Guard was leaving the Trio ? Hopeful it might be worked out ? Devastated ? Without the internet in those days all I had was a magazine article that it might happen but Werber commenting it might be worked out. I really didn't hear anything more until "Close Up" it the record stands
