John Stewart Live at the Birchmere-2001

[@junietoonstoo]

You & Buffy look fabulous John! "Driving over Kanan... " as we all did for oh so many years. As ever, your music continues to be the soundtrack of my life. -- "And he's drivin' her stone blind!" I don't train a horse without blasting that song through the barn. The horses know it by heart John! What a thrill to have found you here. We're in Lake County now. Bless you both. Phillip sends love. We both do, lots of it.

where was i when he this show took place? too busy being a teenager in the DC area... i wish i had been there, i got into his music by accident really, i was surfing a record shop two years ago, found California Bloodlines and i really liked the cover, bought it, then found out the next day that he died the day i bought it! every since then i have felt a very close connection to his music, it's hard to explain, but i've become a huge and am slowly catching up on his career

RIP John Stewart

Agreed re: The Phoenix Concerts. Bought my first copy of the LP in 75, second in 80 or so, then the CD about 15 years ago. Arrangements of all the favorites are the best (Bloodlines, Cody, July...)

I knew the guys, they were a little older but my folk group "The Frontiersmen" played the same night as "The Trio" in Louisville, Kentucky '65 and met up with them after the show and wound up tooling around the city streets with Nick driving a '65 Mustang til the break of dawn.

My father was in a band called "The Bangs" and played Miami alot around 65. He said he had met The Trio at a gig with Bobby Goldsboro (I think). I just remember that when this song came out, he used to crank it in the car and sing along with it.
