Not sure what to say?

I met Nick several times and always thanked him for the influence he had on me to learn guitar and banjo to play along with the Trios songs. I got to sing a duet with him at a 1994 Orem, Utah concert intermission playing George Groves Banjosaurus. What a treat! Received my first album in 1960 through The Capital Record Club and about wore it out repeating the songs until I new the songs.

I have met Josh and cousin both fine players , I play guitar now and love playing old Kingston trio music .

At age 16 in 1963 I picked up a $100 Harmony guitar and inspired by my hero's the Kingston Trio began a life long journey of folk music.
Still playing KT music to this day.

We just had the pleasure of meeting Nick's son Josh and what a treat it was to have that conversation about his dad and the memories. Dennis & Celesta

I didn't realize that I could still sign a guest book for one of the members of the group. I saw the group live three times. two in the sixties in Troy NY and once in the mid 90's in Hershey PA. I have most of their LP's and CD's. I still play their music. I am in my 70's now and still feel blessed that their music was part of my life, and it still is. I listen almost every day. I still love it. If any if Nick's family still reads the guest book please ,now what a blessing Nick and the group...
