John Stewart

[Stufish]

Does anyone here remember John Stewart (sang with the Kingston Trio for a while)? He was under contract with Reprise at the same time GL was. I really like his music and wonder what has become of him. Does anyone out there know?

Hey Liz! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/wink.gif I just checked a John Stewart Website (I think just about all artists have one now) and he most recently released a CD called "Havana" in 2003. All new studio material.

In 2001 he released a "best of" CD simply titled "John Stewart:Gold". There was also a CD put out of his folk years but I forgot the title! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/redface.gif Sorry!

I know he's up there in his early 60's by now or else late 50's. Just like Gordon,he's still recording. http://www.corfid.com/ubb/smile.gif I remember his hit "Gold" very well from back in 1978/9 and have it on a "dance music" cassette. http://www.corfid.com/ubb/cool.gif Love Stevie Nicks back up! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/wink.gif Later! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/cool.gif

Thanks Borderstone, I will check out his web site right now. I'm glad he is still recording. He must be in his mid -sixties by now. I love it that all these 60's guys ae still going strong - I admit being a bit (very) tired of the Stones but other than them, it's good to know that the other's have an audience,

[ELizabeth]

Borderstone - Do you have url for the Stewart web site? What I got was a lot of junk when I searched. It is clear that at some point he and Lindsay Buckingham (and Stevie) became musical friends. Thanks for any help you can provide on the url,

There is a John Stewart email list. I'm told Stewart posts on it periodically. Can't remember the URL but I believe I found it off the californiabloodlines URL. I still have that one on vinyl. Love it.

[Borderstone]

Hey Liz,I'm sorry but i didn't pay attention to the URL but what i did to get the infor was to go to Google and put in either John Stewart "Gold" or John Stewart Discography.

Depending on which one it was it was like the 2nd,3rd or 4th selection down the list.

Ain't I just so....."Technical?" http://www.corfid.com/ubb/biggrin.gif http://www.corfid.com/ubb/rolleyes.gif

Thanks all for the replies and great urls. This will keep me busy for a while. Glad there are other John Stewart fans on this board. He and GL have a lot in common musically.
Borderstone - it's okay. You can blush now and all will forgiven.

John Stewart is not only recording, but he is still actively touring. He does mostly small venues and house concerts these days, but I've seen him twice in the last couple of years at one of our local house concert series' and he's slated to be there again in June.

John's web site is at http://www.chillywinds.com/home.shtml

At least that is the web site listed in the schedule at this venue.

[Rhea]

John Stewart just played in Los Angeles last weekend, and is busy this week working on a new studio album in LA. He wrote lots of new songs after he suffered a concussion last year. He has an upcoming spring East Coast (US) tour scheduled and will be back in CA in the summer. His fans (in the email world) are called Bloodliners and the email list was just discussing Gordon Lightfoot's music last month. The Jimmy Duke house concerts her plays in San Diego County each year are recorded and the CD are for sale. They show his current musical skills and include many of his songs that other people made hits, such as Roseanne Cash, the Monkees and others. He also did the folk album, "Darwins Army" with Dave Crossland. Each summer for the last six or seven years Stewart has sponsored a "Trio Fantasy Camp" where people could 'become' a member of the Kingston Trio and play a song with Nick Renolds and John Stewart. Bob Shane was also there for the last two summers. It is quite an event with the fans coming to watch the shows and and it becomes a festival weekend for those involved. Stewart usually sponsors a special songwriters workshop or retrospective or other activites for those who come as Campers and get to play with him. He hangs out with the fans and Bloodliners that weekend. He is quite friendly and enjoys talking with his fans.

Thanks Janice- Would you happen to know how Buffy is doing? Do you know how JS got a concussion? I know -too many questions but I heard that Buffy was not doing well and I am concerned for both of them.

Rhea, thanks for stopping by with the scoop. Dark-Thirty Productions (Jimmy Duke's house concert series) is the one I was speaking of in my earlier post, where I've seen John Stewart twice.

Elizabeth, I really don't follow his career or life's happenings. I went to see him at the house concert because I knew his name and some of his songs and I frequently go to house concerts in order to support the concept of such and keep them alive.

Maybe Rhea will drop back in and will, no doubt, know the answer to your questions.

Hi Elizabeth,
Huge John Stewart fan, he put out some incredible albums in the early 70's, if you can find it check out "California Bloodlines" and "Cannons in the Rain" , just a great songwriter. Take Care

[ELizabeth]

I have both 'California Bloodlines' and 'Canons in the Rain' and I love them both. I also like some of the songs on 'Sunstorm'! His songs have the ability to make me cry and laugh. "Anna on a Memory' and 'Julie,Judy, Angel Rain' can bring tears while 'The Lady and the Outlaw' breaks me up everytime I hear it.

[Borderstone]

I really only know the 1979 song,"Gold",w/Stevie Nicks on back-up vocals. Still,cool song though. http://www.corfid.com/ubb/cool.gif

Hi there Borderstone - Like GL, John Stewart's a;bums are all worth having. The two mentioned here "Calfornia Bloodlines' and 'Canons in the Rain' are both excellent. Are you going to make any of the GL concerts this year?

[The Rez]

I, along w/ Rhea and Mott attended John Stewarts concer last weekend at McCabes in Santa Monica.

We're all looking forward to John's House Councert (at Jimmy Duke's O-Dark Thirth in San Diego) this June

John's new music is as grounded as his "classics."

There remain a few priceless things in this life: Brother Ray, Gord and John Stewart come to mind this evening.

[gary g]

was John Stewert the replacement for Nick Reynolds, or was there someone else in the line up after Nick left? Also I wonder what happened to Reynolds?

[gene]

No, John replaced Dave Guard, who left the group. Nick is still alive, but is reportedly in poor health. John had visited with Nick on the day he had his fatal stroke.

[geodeticman.5]

That Woodsong site is great; thanks Station and jj. Another artist I looked for in there I had a used LP of long ago, and would kill to have again featured what I found out tonight is a classic tune of the Great Lakes regional folk history.

I can't remember his last name, George (.....) , singing "Fire In the Jack Pines" on an album titled same. He sounded very much like a young UA Lightfoot is why it caught my attention when I tried it in used folk aisles for about 50 cents.

I googled, yahoo'd, ask'd, info.com'd - all the big boys' search engines for the song ...Jack Pines, and I kept getting references to the proliferation of the Jack Pine species of tree after wildland fires, because they had a unique "serotinous" pine-cone that hides seeds from fire, and releases them afterwards from heat. Fascinating, but totally irrelevant. I'm sorry.

OK the song - I finally found in the only musical reference from searches by a lady named Degan, who sings celtic folk and just about everything traditional including "Shortnin' Bread...." , but no George (....). Does ANYBODY know who this was, and his great cover of Fire In the Jack Pines ? I realize this is off-line from the thread, but we seem to be cutting a little more slack these days :) Thanks

steve, in my opinion, you apologize too much (and you're not even a Canuck, lol)

hey, I don't know this singer but if it aint here http://www.ibiblio.org/folkindex/index.htm then I don't know where it would be found online

btw, when they re-did this site, all my posts got cloned as stationmaster's ...as I mentioned, it was through browsing ed mullen's site that I found woodsongs.com - I can't believe it was only 5 years ago, seems like a decade ago ....ron, has also highly recommended that others enjoy this site - I refer folks to it weekly in my non-cyber life

I saw a little clip of Nick Reynolds a couple of months ago and it looks like he also had a stroke. Was kid of difficult to watch. His thought process was great but getting the words out was tough.

I see the band that tours as the Kingston Trio now has none of the old trio in it. I guess Bob Shane has hung it up.

That is sad, they were one of my favorite groups back in the 60's. I hate it when someone keeps the name, and none of the original members are in the group anymore.

IM SORRY I AM SORRY SO MUCH.

P.S. SORRY FOR THE OFF-THREAD POST.

you guys are right - actually - I am told this in *real* life quite a bit. It comes, I have been told, from a very personal and private aspect of my life over the last eight years that was quite damaging, I am told.... .

I know you did not ask..so its cool....I think its thoughtful that U 2 pointed this out - really- as I ought NOT to think I have to say sorry so much.....its deep-rooted from surviving some things for quite awhile that started-out about 11 years ago with an event that preceeded life going very difficult for years to come - that is where I was hanging upside down under a glacier, impaled on a tree, from a climbing accident I am quite sorry about......lol ..... and subsequent private aspects of life thereafter quite by some coincidence, some related....it'll even out over time and I will not be given to apologizing for having opinions, valid or not...or sorry for other things to excess, including not apologizing or justifying simple statements like in KNOWING MY FIELD....INCLUDING THE *&^&$%% TERMS GEODETIC and GEODESIC ahemmm sir Knowles-a-lot - really j.k. john I'll not apologize for the well-meant humour in that one John,,,, lol.... thanks guys
