JOHN STEWART RIP
Not JON Stewart -- JOHN Stewart.Kingston Trio, big hit songwriter. THAT John Stewart.
The guy could write your ass off.
"Daydream Believer?" His.
"July You're a Woman?" His.
And those aren't even among his better songs.
If you can find it, dig up a copy of his 1974 album "The Phoenix Concerts." it was recorded at the Celebrity Theatre over two or three nights and it pretty much told me more about how to hold an audience than anything I've ever heard since.
------
Just played at the Encanto Park songwriter's gathering for the LAST time because Phoenix is too frickin' cheap to keep it going every January. At least it was a nice day!
------
Just in case there's anyone who cares, my song "I Saw Your Daughter In A Porno" is DEFINITELY going on the next CD. It's about the only song I get requests for anymore, you perverts. (Well, that and "I've Seen All My Best Friends Naked"...what IS it with you people?)
------
Most interesting songwriter I saw today at the park was a 14-year-old girl named Daisy Mallory. She's REALLY good, and will only get better with age. Channel 3 is doing a report on her on Monday night at 8. Check it out.
------
The Violet Wing show was a lot of fun! Biggest thrill for me was playing a couple of tunes with my sister-in-law, Lisa Kool. It was a groovy 60s flashback, maaaaaaan....
