Feb 3, 2009 - Is the Mermaid's Tale the one that begins "Twas Friday Morn when we set sail and we were not far from land . . ." with a chorus of "and we poor sailors go skipping to the top and the landlubbers lie down below, below below"? if so, I have the lyrics for that, at least.

Feb 7, 2009 - The whole folk era was changing by the time this was recorded. This had to be around 1966 or 67 maybe? I remember a lot people tried to imitate them. Donovan didn't wear the vertical stripe shirts. Folk went electric. Still, they had a big impact upon folk and rock even to this day. It is a sound that sticks with you.

Apr 17, 2009 - Did you ever wonder: Why there are simple songs and simple singers? Well, you need not wonder now that you heard the Kingston Trio.

May 18, 2009 - I guess it's weird for a 15 year old girl to like this music in modern times, but i really do love this.

HaulAwayJoe Says:

May 18, 2009 - It's not weird. I'm a 16 year old guy and I think this is way better than anything out there today. The world needs more people like us who like this kind of music.

CiaraHallHero Says:

May 18, 2009 - Well i'm glad to see i'm not alone. these three men can always cheer me up when i'm moping. i love it. thank you for posting this. and i too wish there more people at a younger age range that like this kind of music :D

May 29, 2009 - I'm 26 and they make today's "musicians" look foolish. The oldies are the best!

canoer2 Says:

Jun 7, 2009 - I noticed in Little Maggie in Bob's solo he uses the words, "gonna join another band", instead of "goin to a far distant land". Was that a play on the fact that the band was breaking up. I sure would like to ask Bob about that.

Jun 21, 2009 - Not weird at all. Great music transcends the ages.

Jul 8, 2009 - I "discovered" the Trio about 9 years ago and I can pop one of their cd's in and listen staight through. From the first album to the last. Beautiful and brilliant. Love the live albums the best.

Aug 7, 2009 - That's encouraging to hear. I used to go see them in the early 60s in Wash. DC. Still like to hear them and all real music.

Aug 11, 2009 - I'm 38 I firsttheard Tom Dooley when I was about 9 yrs oldsaw when I first saw them on a PBS special (believe it was a reunion) After that I don't think I really paid much attention to their music. About a year ago another specai on PBS was on their whole career then I was hooked. What GREAT music. From the original trio to the John Stewart era, they gave us great music :)

JWMarina Says:

Aug 15, 2009 - These guys were great at taking a good ballad, like Colors, and giving it a slightly upbeat rendition!

Nov 7, 2009 - no pro-tools, vocal pitch-changers, back up vocalist, backing tracks, click-tracks keyboard s, all the real thing. Amazing
