RMD - some fine choices in there!

I always have trouble picking out John's best stuff. Too much of it! I particularly liked that you picked something off of Sunstorm which I think is a vastly underrated album. Heck, that's where Kansas Rain first showed up.

I kind of lost touch in Bloodlines but will have to check back in. Back when they were collecting for Buffy I remember John had tehm either raffle or auction off his old Kinston Trio banjo. Bought in $16K and then they ended up giving him back the banjo anyway. Stewart fans tend to be really good folks.

I saw John right after the first concussion which he spoke about. He was having real trouble with lyrics on the odd requests but was mostly OK with ones he planned. The exception was The Man Who Would be King which was a shame because that is excellent even by John's standards.

I was fortunate enough to see him perform with Buffy once years ago. Penn State Delaware Valley campus - I think in Media, PA. Great time. Was actually a two day affair with John running a creative workshop for writers and other such creative sorts.
