Kingston Trio at Lakeside, Week 6

We walked to Hoover Auditorium in a downpour last night, but the Kingston Trio was fabulous and worth damp clothes. They've kept their program fresh, with a few old favorites for the sing a long audience (which seemed at bit older than usual). The group began 56 years ago, and none of the originals perform, but one has been with the trio 37 years, so that's not too shabby. When the audience joined in on the MTA song, I thought of Snowden (did he ever return, no he never returned) and the riots in Brazil over the fare increase. Charlie is handed a Starbucks instead of a sandwich. Being an Ohio audience, we loved the song about trying to get to Morrow, Ohio.

Murray sez:
This is the kind of entertainment they have down in The Villages where we spend the winter. The Villages help provide second life to the careers of the entertainers from the 50's and 60's. They rock!
