   Re: Q: Ken Lyon ?

   Ken Lyon is an inductee into the Rhode Island Music Hall of Fame.  He was also   
   a teacher and member of the band Tombstone.  His family lived in my   
   neighborhood in Randolph, Massachusetts and I was friendly with his oldest   
   sister.  His brother Don    
   sometimes played with him. Both his parents had a music background but his   
   father was an Episcopalian minister at the time of his death leaving his widow   
   and two teen-aged daughters and a young girl behind.  He is the oldest of five   
   children and his    
   brother is the second oldest.  I bought his record in 1970 when I knew his   
   oldest sister.  Sadly the album has never been released on compact disc.  At   
   the time it was recorded, Lyon was fairly well-recognized as a folk singer in   
   the Rhode Island area.     
   He was friendly with Richie Havens and other folk singers who regularly played   
   in the Boston area.  You can find information on him by researching his name   
   or the Rhode Island Music Hall of Fame.
