This is an incredible find......

I actually liked it.

I've kicked myself a million times for not spending more time with him when I saw him at a celerity golf tournament in 1990 and we talked briefly about the Trio.

I asked him what songs he was on ... he said all of them after Rev Mr. Black.

I'm certain that the Trio meant a lot to him.

Out of the millions of songs that he played on as a side man, including some with Sinatra.... his remembering Rev. Mr. Black has to mean something.

When I mentioned Bob Shane.... everything stopped. He paused for a minute.... and thought.... before saying anything else. I'm sure that a million memories of Bob came at him at once.

I think his 3 or 4 hits were monumental for our generation.

They had as big an emotional impact on me as any Trio song.

There was one I didn't know about until we saw him during his final tour.

An incredible Jimmy Webb song.
