If I might share something I always wanted to tell John...back in the
60's, I had a girlfriend whose middle name was May, then the next
woman's middle name was June...then - after the latter and I had broken
up - I heard John's "July, You're A Woman". Not entirely seriously, I
thereafter kept my eyes open for a woman named Julie...or was born in
July...but damn, my next girlfriend's middle name was May (and was born
in October!)
Still, I loved Mr. Stewarts' music and humor. The first smart line I
heard from him was on the "Kingston Trio In Concert" album where he said
- as a song introduction, "this next song...for those of you who know
it...is called "Chilly Winds"...for those of you who don't know
it...it's still called "Chilly Winds".
And the last time I saw him, he said, "this next song comes off our
album "Punch the Big Guy"...anybody out the have it? We were wondering
where it was, please return it after the show."
Plus he was lusty, political, and romantic! It's a sad night....

**** I appreciate the tips. FWIW a few discs by him are on emusic
mostly recent stuff but also "wires from the bunker" which has some
good songs on it.

******I didn't know that. Thanks. That lyric via the Monkee's always
left me scratching my head a bit and now I know why.
