I remember John Stewart from when he was with the Cumberland Trio and onward. I was a fan also. I met him and got his autograph out back of the Melodyland Theater near Disneyland back in 1964. He really was a major part of the Kingston Trio when he joined and made it a better group, and I had seen them many times. I was sad to hear of his passing in January. I would hear his songs thru the years and always could identify his voice in a few seconds. He helped make many happy memories of my early days, and I still get a warm and content feeling when I put on old Kingston Trio songs and hear that voice.
I just had a friend pass away this past Friday of the same thing, he was only 53 and on a canoe trip down the Potomac River in West Virginia. At least he was doing something that he loved when it came. I hope John was also.
