Very well said.

I justy may have to get that album.

when this board first began ............

there was a lot of talk about how it was for us when a new Trio album came out.

You had to be there ... to know how this was.

I can tie each albumto a special time in my youth.

I first heard the Trio in my friend, Tom McGoodwin's room.

He was an extraordinary guy.

PS banjo player.

He had built from a kit the first component stereo sytem I ever heard.

this was when I was 13.

It was something that would be with me for the rest of my life.

I had 7 Sony stereo recievers with speakers to go with them in different rooms in our house. 3 in one room. One for each computer.

Tom's room was in the basement of his house.

It was a tri-levle.

you entered his room from the window that was near the ground on the side of his house.

Tom built Revel model airplans.

He had them suspended from the cieling with thread.


The walla were knotty pine.

There have been times when I've played some of the older albums that i could smell the pine.


Going Places was a very special album.

I didn't like it.

The people on it were not the Kingston Trio.

They were from another planet.

It was the first stereo album that I got when I finally got a stereo.

Which consisted of my parents' record player that I had mouinted a stereo cartige in the tone arm and a second amp. I listened with Army surplus head phones.

I probably played that album a million times.

There was one song that ..... blew me away.

It was like having a time machine that could take you into the future. And, you'd know .......
