The Kingston Trio has always been cool. For instance, those guys have the most optimistic album title in recording history: “The Kingston Trio – The First 50 Years.” They’ve got their own iPhone app and a Fantasy Camp. They recently dusted off an antique reel-to-reel rehearsal tape “Above the Purple Onion”, gave it a remastering hosedown and plan to send it off in about three weeks. Look for it and more music at the Kingston Trio Store. . . . . . . More Larry luv. Mr. 335 is currently bouncing all over the globe playing a gazillion weeks’ worth of shows at various festivals and venues. The man is an airline frequent-flyer mileage program monster. Thought we saw a stop at the North Pole in his “Round the World in 80 Days Tour” on larrycarlton.com but we could be mistaken . . . . . . our “See Earl Klugh Before We’re Six Feet Under” campaign has gotten slightly bogged down, either due to the heat or more likely the fact that Earl’s got enough to do at his day job rather than take our cue and find his way with the help of Google Maps to a venue around our corner. We won’t give up hope he’ll show up here sometime soon, perhaps after taking care of some irrelevant business like playing the Blue Note in New York for a week starting July 27. That’s why we visit his site for the latest tour dates and the most relaxing splash page sound on the net. . . . . . . Don Tracker: Don rolls into Minnesota to play the Moondance Jam tomorrow evening. If you happen to be attending, we’d appreciate a review, maybe some photos and perhaps the set list. Also, if you’re there for Saturday’s lineup, we’re curious to know if any original members are still in Lynyrd Skynyrd. Enjoy!
