Just checking back on your very cool site. We had the great thrill of meeting Mr. Stewart last year. We had, for my father's 60th birthday, attempted to arrange a private concert. Unfortunately, he ended up having a head injury of some sory and couldn't do it. But a year and a half later, he ended up playing at Lefty's in Salem. We arranged a backstage meet and greet - it was way fun. My dad ended up talking about bad knees, of all things and we sent him a knee brace. So random, but what a cool guy and amazing artist.
ReplyDeletethat was suppose to say injury of some "sort"
ReplyDeleteWell, what can I say except that I envy you ... My wife liked him from his years in the Kingston Trio, I liked his "Dream Babies" commercial period.
ReplyDeleteAbashed to say that I did't keep up with his output and thus had contributed to his being one of the most underrated American musicians out there ... but what a legacy he's leaving behind.
That was quite a touching story. Thanks for telling it.
