Y es, I know that back on July 9 th my Wednesday Coffeehouse featured The Kingston Trio . But with the death of Nick Reynolds , one of the original Kingston Trio, a week ago (October 1 st ) today, this Coffeehouse could feature no one else . When I heard of Nick’s death, I got a big lump in my throat. I still remember the first time I head Tom Dooley . When I was a kid, I had an old Motorola radio...

The other day I was catching up on my Uncle Tom's blog. Tom has settled into a quirky template for his posts: an idiosyncratic photo on top, which may or may not be much related to the material below; a...
Before a scruffy-looking young man called Bob Dylan and the pure-voiced Joan Baez were crowned its king and queen, the biggest stars of the US folk music revival were the Kingston Trio.

Kingston Trio co-founder Reynolds dies: Nick Reynolds, a founding member of the Kingston Trio who jump-started the revival folk scene of the late 1950s and paved the way for artists such as Bob Dylan and Joan Baez, has died.

During the purge of Communists led by Senator Joe McCarthy in the early 1950s, folk music was seen as subversive and anti-American and the leading group, the Weavers, was blacklisted. As a result, the music lost its popularity and it wasn't until the Kingston Trio recorded the million-selling "Tom Dooley" in 1958 that folk music was again heard on the airwaves. The Kingston Trio, initially comprising...
I'll be heading to the used record store after work, but I'm not sure what to shop for. Last time I was in I passed on some Sonny Rollins records in favor of Nat King Cole , so that's one option. And, given today's news I guess I should consider looking into the Kingston Trio. What do y'all think?
Nick Reynolds, guitarist for the Kingston Trio, died in Chula Vista, Calif., on Monday. The Kingston Trio dominated the album charts for a time in the early '60s—at one point, the group held four slots in the album charts' top 10—and essentially opened the door for folk music as a commercially viable enterprise with their easygoing versions of traditional songs.
