   I always liked the Kingston trio, Several years  ago John was the featured   
   performer at the Gamble Rogers Folk festival in St Augustine and I looked   
   forward to hearing him.  I know most of the good Florida musicians who   
   played before him and I enjoyed  them a lot.   
      
   When John came to the stage, the ampatheater was packed.  John gave a   
   totally incomprehensible  performance.  His  diction was terrible. and he   
   repeated songs and verses all over the place. After a time, folks began to   
   slip away, at first a few at a time, then in larger and larger numbers.  I   
   hate to leave a performance, but finally did because I wasn't haven't a good   
   time, and the thought of my bed in the camp ground was getting very strong.   
      
   I wonder if he was sick even then.  This was probably about 2002 but I am   
   not sure.  Someone said he was drunk, but I don't know that and will not   
   accuse him falsely.   
      
   My friends and I speak of the heavenly jam circle, where instruments never   
   need tuning, and nobody calls for the last song. May john find a welcome   
   there.

   all blessings
