I belive that A Very Good Year is the best studio recorded song that the Kingston Trio ever did.
No question about it.
It was all Bob Shane and the echo chamber at Capitol,but most of all whoever played the nylon string guitar on it..
What I don't understand...
For the life of me ....
Is why at the end of my Junior year of high school, when it came out, it had such an impact on me.
I was 17 then...
I think this might have had something to do with it.
For me ... it was like looking into a crystal ball andf seeing the future.
It's always been a little scary for me.
For me ...
This is Bob's best song..
Bob and I were good friends for about 15 years, beginning in about 1980.
I never once asked him about anything pertaining to the Trio, especially anything that happened prior to 1967 ....
To me ... he was another person back then....
I think he thought he was too....it was all too magical to be real.
