The first album I ever bought was "College Concert"; it was the second album of the second iteration of The Kingston Trio. It was the spring of 1962 when I was 13 years old. I have a ton of Kingston Trio on vinyl, quite a bit of their music on CD and some on DVD.
As a matter of fact, I'm listening "Make Way!" by the first iteration of the Trio right now. I still like those guys.

Never got tired of their spirit, humor and harmonies.
Somewhere I posted my attempts to connect with Nick Reynolds to express my appreciation and hear his stories. A few things interfered and then suddenly it was too late. He lived about 20 miles from me.

..........I saw the Trio in concert at Western New Mexico University in Silver City, New Mexico when Nick was still playing with them. It was one of the best and most fun concerts I ever attended. I think Nick had retired back in the 70's or 80"s, then rejoined the group in the 90's, then retired again late in the 90's.
I lived about two hours away in Las Cruces, NM. My band mate Bob and I drove over after work (the concert was on a weekday; Tuesday sticks in my mind but I'm not too sure). After the concert, Nick, Bob and George were available at a local night spot to autographs and mingling for a few bucks a pop. I did't want to stay because I had to be at work at 6:00 AM the next morning, so we passed on the chance. I kick myself in the ass to this day for not staying for the get-together.
I've seen the Trio probably 6-8 times since then, but Nick had re-retired by then. I always thought he would have been a lot of fun to talk to.
His son Josh posts occasionally at the Kingston Trio Place on the internet.
A good book is "The Kingston Trio on Record" by Benjamin Blake, Jack Rubeck and Allan Shaw. However, I'm not to sure it's in print anymore.
