My mom took me to see the Kingston Trio when I was 2 years old, and I grew up listening to Stewart's solo stuff. She has been into his music the way that I'm into Robyn's (which is part of the reason I took her to see Robyn's 50th birthday show when we were in London)--she has seen him dozens of times including going to the fantasy camp the Kington Trio holds in Scottsdale each year, and she went on a Mexican criuse the group had set up last year. She also had tickets to see John next week, here in Scottsdale. I really feel bad for her. Sounds like he went the same way that one of my clients/closest friends went last month, a massive brain aneurysm. It can be just such a sudden, unexpected thing. For me, I had dropped my client off at his apartment, and he was in a great mood. About five hours later, he had a devestating stroke and never really regained consciouness before he passed away. Death has been far too present lately. Marc "I hope that when I die people say, 'That guy sure owed me a lot of money'."

Actually, I've only ever heard Camper Van Beethoven's version of "Sisters of the Moon", which, in a thread-merge, contains the words "this one goes to 11", alongside a bunch of computerized Pynchon and Melville.
