Late Night Music: Nick Reynolds and The Kingston Trio

Boy, these obituaries are coming a little too close together for me. Nick Reynolds, one of the founding members of The Kingston Trio died today.

SAN DIEGO – Nick Reynolds, a founding member of the Kingston Trio who jump-started the revival folk scene of the late 1950s and paved the way for artists such as Bob Dylan and Joan Baez, has died. He was 75.

Reynolds had been hospitalized with acute respiratory disease and other illnesses, and died Wednesday in San Diego after his family took him off life support, said son Joshua Reynolds.

The Trio was a couple of years before my time, I came up with Dylan, Baez, and Seeger, but I did listen to Kingston Trio songs as a child and I do clearly remember learning this song in the first grade. It was one of my childhood favorites and it still brings a smile.

Rest in peace, Nick Reynolds.
