I only remember wondering how the sound was going to change. I was young and really didn't care that much why it was happening.
I heard about the Kingston Trio breaking up on the radio back in 1961. I thought my favorite singing band was over. A few weeks later, on television, I happen to see the Kingston Trio with John Stewart replacing Dave Guard. I was mad as hell!
I stopped being mad after I heard the 'Stewart Trio' singing "Where Have All The Flowers Gone" on the radio. They sounded pretty good.
In time, I learnt to accept Dave Guard's departure but after I took home his "Whiskeyhill Singers" album, I kept asking myself -
Dave Guard left the Kingston Trio for this?
