Hum 15 years ago, I think he was suffering by then (mental health that is). The last time I saw him was in Pawling, NY. He did the show ok but at one point he leaned forward and kept going forward I think someone caught him. After the show I asked him some specifics about "young Man From Boston" recording. He was rubbing his head not able to respond, I said you know John, he it was so long ago. That was the beginning of what killed him eventually

Without going into detail, I met John Stewart at a social gathering 15 years ago.
He was unkind and mean spirited so I've given away all my John Stewart albums
including his Cumberland Three records.

Since I'm a huge fan of The Kingston Trio, I decided to keep both NBD & NBJ albums.

I have a recording of "The Ridgerunners" a John Stewart involved folk group. Anybody have this recording and what do you think of it?
