"The Kingston Trio' They're great! How many times have you heard a "New" song today with a moral, or a lesson in trust? Listen carefully to the following selection. The moral applies, most certainly, to more than just leaving the "bottle full" for the next weary traveller.
| Dick - Thank you for your Kingston Trio request this week. And thanks for the helpful tips you send me from time to time. For Example: I can't tell you how many times this test saved me from certain disaster. Wish I had this in high school. Is there anything you want to say to the Club??? |  |
The Kingston Trio is an American folk and pop music group that helped launch the folk revival of the late 1950s to late 1960s. The group started as a San Francisco Bay Area nightclub act with an original lineup of Dave Guard, Bob Shane, and Nick Reynolds. It rose to international popularity, fueled by unprecedented sales of 33⅓ rpm long-playing record albums (LPs), and helped to alter the direction of popular music in the U.S.[1] wiki
On Monday May 15th Joan and I met with Dick and Marie Neuses at "Hells Kitchen" in downtown Minneapolis for Lunch. The highlight of our lunch was Dick and I singing the Kingston Trio song "They're Rioting in Africa" (which turns out to really be titled) "The Merry Little Minute". Oh Yes we sang it "Really Loud" . . . Joan and Marie, to their distress, could not hide . . . No Sir! . . . Here's a point Dick made. "We sang this song really loud in a restaurant and we weren't even drinking yet!" Oh yes Dick, at our age we do lots of really silly stuff!
