From: MFinleyCS@aol.com
I'm enjoying reading all that everyone is writing. I have been listening to
John's music since Kingston Trio days, although there was a lapse during the
'80s when we were so busy raising young kids. Getting back into it now.
Finally saw John "live" at a concert in, of all places, Moses Lake,
Washington, last year. Beautiful setting near the lake, outdoor
amphitheatre, people sitting and lying on the lawn, free concert. Wonderful
show, heard "Miracle Mile" there for the first time. Hung around after the
concert, finally met John, shook his hand, mumbled something incoherent, got
an autograph on the liner card from "Teresa. . .and the Lost Songs," which I
think has some absolutely brilliant stuff on it. Enjoying "Rough Sketches" a
lot right now. Everyone has noticed, I suppose, how often angels occur as a
metaphor in so many of John's songs. Great stuff. Before I saw John in
concert I interviewed him by phone, while he was still living in Virginia,
for an article about him that was published in a national level Catholic
newspaper. Got him to talk some about his Catholic background. Said he
still thinks of himself as a Catholic. Interesting stuff, no question about
it. John has what Andrew Greeley calls "a Catholic imagination," a creative
faculty that sees the sacred, the holy, the Divine Mystery, whatever you want
to call it, all over the place. Theologically, he is really quite
sophisticated, consciously or not. Listen on!

Subj: Another intro
Date: 96-09-20
From: martyn@chinwad.demon.co.uk (Martyn Emerson)
Hello all,
I've been looking in for a couple of days (many thanks to Ron Beffa for the
news that there actually now exists such a thing as a John Stewart mailing
list!) I suppose I should write an intro. I hope Ian will excuse me for
using a few lines of his which I recently read to assist me in this onerous
task.

This really rings a bell. The first time I encountered the name John
Stewart was in a venerable old UK magazine called ZigZag. It was issue 38,
(Feb 74, I think.) The last article therein was by Pete Frame, he of the
hand-drafted musical family trees. It was the first in an intended series
called "The Ten Greatest Albums Of All Time", though it never seemed to get
past the first installment, like rather a lot of ZigZag projects. However,
this first installment was devoted to an item entitled California
Bloodlines. It was primarily a piecing together of separate interviews
with Nik Venet & JS about the circumstances under which the album was
recorded in Nashville, the story of the credits at the end of Never Goin'
Back, an explication of the lines of blank verse on the back of the album
jacket... that sort of thing.
Though I doubted it would coincide with my musical tastes at the time - my
favourites at fifteen years of age embarrass me now as they probably would
most people - somehow that piece really made an impression on me, and I
kept an eye out for Capitol ST-203 whenever I was shopping for music. But
it took me two more years to actually find a copy here on the wrong side of
the Atlantic.
Thankfully in the intervening two years my tastes had developed
considerably. I still remember sitting down to listen to that LP for the
first time while re-reading the article.
The rest of the seventies, as they say, is history. I discovered someone
over here was enthusiastic enough to produce a magazine primarily devoted
to John (Omaha Rainbow), subscribed to it, found out about all the other
stuff I needed to catch up on, and devoted all efforts to seeking out those
LPs. I remember finally laying my hands on a copy of Signals Through The
Glass just a couple of days before leaving home for the first time in fall
76 to go to university, and listening over and over to "Draft Age". Though
my situation wasn't quite so perilous, (university isn't quite Vietnam) it
really struck a chord.
But that was the seventies. And somehow, round about the onset of the
eighties, life took other turns, and I lost touch with not only John's
music, but music in general. There have been some exceptions. Hearing
Nanci Griffith in the mid 80's almost got me back in the groove, and I was
certainly intrigued to see the cover of Wingless Angels on the Little Love
Affairs jacket, and to hear their duet on that album. But it's only
comparatively recently, primarily through all this internet stuff, that
I've been really been getting back in touch.
Ian again:

>Californian >musicians were on stage out to the public bar for a pint of
>John Smiths >Yorkshire Bitter and then back in. None of the regulars in

I took the train from Manchester to be there in York too, Ian. Talk about
highlights! First ever time I've ever seen the man in the flesh. And
Buffy too! I've really no idea how many times he's made it to these shores
in the past few years. I remember he played at the Band On The Wall right
on the doorstep here in Manchester once a few years back, a place I know
well (had a great time seeing Terry Allen there last weekend), but it was
on a date that I just couldn't make. I might be a good deal more up to
date by now had I been able to attend.
Well, not a moving story like Michelle's, but it's the best I can do. I'm
very much looking forward to catching up on my missing years through the
agency of you folks.
BTW, does anyone know what happened to Omaha Rainbow & Peter O'Brien?

My old home-compilation tape of John's earlier stuff is called "More Songs
About Horses And Wind". You're right, we'd need to add "Neon" to that these
days.
Apropos of that, my wife and I were reminiscing the other day about a
holiday we had a few years ago in France. She remembered that we'd rented a
house on the Nyons road. Which of course set me off to warbling "Show me the
Nyons road..."
Actually, on the subject of home-made JS compliations, I suspect it's
something that many of us have done. How about submitting your track
listings, folks?
Oh, by the way, thanks to Ian for saying I'm not boring! :~)

That Frame article was my intro too. I too had to wait a while until I found
a copy of Capitol ST-203, I too discovered Omaha Rainbow, and York was my
first JS gig. And I'd like to know if O'Brien's still around. I've still got
those old magazines and re-read them frequently. Nostalgia ain't what it

Subj: A really long intro
Date: 96-09-21
From: ClackClack@aol.com
Ok folks this may be a novella. Its OK if you fall asleep. First off , welcome
to the list Martyn. I like to think that both you and Mike went to York
because of my promptings. Wish I could have been there....
The short intro: I was born in 1953. First Stewart purchased: The original
Armstrong single, then Willard, and then California Bloodlines-kind of
a**-backwards. First became a fan: about 1962 or so. Favorite album: a tough
choice since there are many really good albums, but I usually say Cannons In
The Rain by a nose. First came online: April or May 95. PC: Compaq
486/DX2,16MB, win 3.11.
The long intro:
Music appealled to me at a very young age. One of my best early memories is
at about age 4 when my dad's kid brother would let me sit in his room and
play me all his Elvis records. I soon took a liking to the Everlys and always
wanted to hear them. My gram bought me a transistor radio when those things
were the new wonders and I would fall asleep at night with the radio up
against my ear listening to all the good music out there. I discovered that
at night you could find these far away stations and I would slowly tune the
dial and pick up these far off places and listen. I decided I had to play
guitar and so I took slide steel guitar lessons for a number of years. I
don't think I could play worth a dang but I had fun.
My parents had little money, but my dad managed to save a bit and built
himself a nice tube hi-fi. He had a few Elvis, some Belafonte that I loved
and some of that folk music stuff- notably the Kingston Trio. They became one
of my favorites. By the time I was ten in '63 the folk music era had been
booming for some time. I was in Catholic grade school and my teacher (my
favorite teacher of all my years) we nicknamed the Singing Nun. She wasn't
the real singing nun. She was better. She played us all these wonderful folk
albums and we learned the words to many - you know the classics, Michael Row
the Boat Ashore, If I Had a Hammer, lots of Peter Paul & Mary, Brothers Four
and more of that Kingston Trio stuff. Somewhere around this time I saw the
Trio for my once and only time. Frankly it is a dim memory and although I
like to think it was the Stewart Trio, I really can't remember. I remember
the guys up on stage and bantering around more than the music itself.
I got hooked on John when The New Frontier album came out. I liked it a lot
and I liked it because of John. I actively followed what the Trio was up to
in my own limited way. Somewhere in one of those boxes that ate Mt Clemens
types I have old newspaper clippings and teen mag articles about the Trio.
But then came the Beatles and like many others they swept me away... along
with the Byrds, Beau Brummels and others. The folk side still always
appealled to me and folk-rock, even the Rick Nelson type, I liked a lot. My
interest in the Trio waned. They didn't seem to be putting out the kind of
music I wanted to hear then. Of course, now I love to listen to those old
albums.
But anyway, shift forward a few years, and as I recounted a while back on
AOL, John appeared on a local show in the San Francisco area when Calif
Bloodlines was coming out. I was still enough of a fan to make a point of
seeing the show when it was broadcast and John's appearance singing Mother
Country hit me hard. I didn't even know that Signals Through The Glass had
come and gone. But California Bloodlines was a killer. Since a friend got a
copy I didn't pick up my own until a couple years later. But I picked up
Willard and I just loved that album too, more so than my buddies. We'd sit
around playing cards and it was almost a joke that when I wasn't doing well
I'd put on the album to drive them nuts and I'd go "Listen to the Clack,
Clack, Clack as... " It was my lucky charm.
So from '69 or so I've been a hardcore Stewart fan. I can't recall the date I
first saw John perform, but it was at The Boarding House maybe around 73 or
74. From then on it was once or twice a year, except for a break in the late
80' s when John didn't seem to play in the Bay Area much or at least I wasn't
able to get to his shows for 4 or 5 years. Having young kiddies to raise
didn't help matters. There were other things on my mind. But I lived for
those albums and John has always given us a steady stream of just great
stuff. I think my favorite album of the 80's is Punch the Big Guy. I remember
the first time I heard John perform Botswanna live I was really moved. Really
incredible images that man can conjure with this song and so so many of his
other great songs. John has a number of recurring themes, as mentioned, like
Mike and others said. An old girlfriend in the 70's and I would joke that it
couldn't be a Stewart song unless there was Fire, Wind, Rain, or Horses. An
exaggeration of course, but recurring themes. I remember once at The Boarding
House we played a game of is the next song a horse song, or the wind... I
said time for a wind song, and with a blast of electric firepower John
bellows out "SUCKIN' WIND" and we about died laughing....
I have a lot of good concert memories.Saw some good shows at the Boarding
House, lots of good ones at Chuck's Cellar, Great American Music Hall, and
one of my favorite places, since it is so intimate, The Palms. John just
keeps on doing it and doing it well. We are all richer for it. Its not really
possible to say how much he and his music have meant to me over the years.
But I guess thats why I'm here.

Here's my stab at an intro:
But first, thanks to all for your contributions to this list and
especially to Michelle for setting it up. I think the international
flavor is great. One of my goals is to make one of John's tours in the
UK. Getting to "know" his fans there is a great treat.
When I entered college in the early 60's I was well aware of the
Kingston Trio because of their chart hits. I became a much greater
fan, primarily motivated by the thing that influenced most of my
decisions at that time - most of the girls on campus liked the Trio
and having KT albums and being able to discuss KT songs was a great
way to meet them - And I learned that the music was great too. I
started to notice that the songs I liked best were either written or
sung by this John Stewart fellow. The "New Frontier" alub stands out
in my memory. The name seemed familiar and sure enough when I checked
my Cumberland Three records the same name showed up. I was impressed.
I first saw the Trio (and John) in the flesh in a 1963 on-campus
"College Concert". In 1967 I moved to New York and my first real job.
A lot of things were changing that year and I still remember feeling
sad watching the Trio say "good-bye" on the Andy Williams Show.
Somehow I totally missed the beginning of John's solo career. It was
not until about 1976 that I came across his music again. Hearing and
loving "July You're Woman" under a very interesting set of
circumstances (but that's another story) lead me to "Phoenix Concerts"
- still my favorite traveling album. I searched the racks for other
albums but still did not have a good information source - the next
time I saw John was with the Solid Gold Dancers singing "Gold" on TV.
But after the RSO albums and Blondes I again lost track for a few
years.
I started pestering the owner of the local music club - The Towne
Crier - to get John to appear and in 1988 he finally did. I like to
think my requests had something to do with it?? So after nearly 30
years I saw John as a solo for the first time and got on the mailing
lists, etc.
I have spend the past 7- 8 years trying to make up for lost time. In
that period I have seen approximately 50 shows - in 12 states,
including the four corners of the US: Blue Hill, Maine; Los Angeles,
California; Miami, Florida and Seattle, Washington... every show is
unique and a great experience. Some standouts are - the two Penn State
shows (great turnout of fans from all over) - last year at the Turning
Point with Roseanne Cash - McCabe's when "Deep in the Neon" was
recorded - Woodstock and the Bottom Line with Eric Anderson - Bottom
Line songwriters show with Guy Clark, Robert Earl Keen and John
Phillips; Edge of the Woods in New Haven, Conn (this is one of John's
favorites - ask him to tell you about it) - I could go on and on.
John's music has been a big part of my life and it just keeps getting
better and better.

A net friend from the aol mmc board asked me to send this questionnaire to
you'all. Please respond by e-mail to Pete Crossland at petecros@aol.com.
Thanks!
Dear John Stewart Appreciator:
I had a great privilege and a lot of fun when I arranged for and
coordinated John's visit to Kent State University this April. After a bit
of getting to know John and many of you, I am struck anew with how deeply
moving John's music is and how much so many great people appreciate it and
in so many ways.
Here is a proposal: Let's form a loose, happy organization to
*Socialize and enjoy the songs of John Stewart and what they mean to us.
*Promote and produce better and more frequent venues for John in
Northeast Ohio.
Many people seem to want more contact, interaction, and intimacy with John
and his music. How about an "intimate evening with John Stewart" where he
does a typical set informally, takes questions and requests, and mingles in
a pleasant environment?
How about a weekend concert in a good hall where we put our efforts
together and turn out the several hundreds (or thousands!) of people
John Stewart deserves?
If this appeals to you, please fill out the enclosed form and mail it to
me. Please give me a call if you have questions or suggestions.
I am (with John's permission) sending this to his Northeast Ohio mailing
list. My expectation is that 10 to 50 of us will get together to get
acquainted, listen/play/sing John Stewart music, and organize future
activities. I hope you are interested!
Sincerely,
Pete Crossland

Subj: PP&M
Date: 96-09-23
From: Ddumail@aol.com
The following was posted to the AOL board and I have received permission to
post it here as well:
On the recent PP&M album Lifelines, there is a song by Noel Paul Stookey
called For the Love of it All. In this song there is a verse which says:
"Irresistable Targets"
I heard someone say
They were speaking of angels
Who were so courageous day after day,
Gunned down on a highway (as we often recall)
I hear a scream, I have a dream
The love of it all
It would seem this is a direct reference to John's song Irresistable Targets.
I know Noel sang on the Bullets album with John, so it would seem logical
this is the source of the reference he makes. Is this the case or did they
have a common source?

It is a JS reference. Paul lives in Blue Hole and has guested in at least one
of John's concerts, there. I hear they dueted on "Four Strong Winds". What a
wonderful choice. My favorite, ever, after "Chilly Winds". Anyone heard the
Trio (unreleased) version of this Ian Tyson song, on the box set.
My wife and I collaborate on Christmas tapes for our friends from work and
church, each year. We included Noel Paul's "For the Love..." on last year's
tape. The tag at the end of the song just cinched it.
I also like Paul's taste in singer-songwriters.

Never been to Blue Hill, but my brother, who is a Mainer, says it's great.

Subj: Targets and Lifelines
Date: 96-09-25
From: ClackClack@aol.com
Now that I think about it I'm kinda surprised that the JS reference on Peter
Paul & Mary's LifeLines album wasn't mentioned on the AOL board. I picked
this album up right around last Christmas and when I heard the reference to
Irresistable Targets I thought WOW and only us John fans will get it. For you
Emmylou Harris fans out there (MARTYN!) the line is sung by Emmylou on the album.
Actually I might as well elaborate a bit on the album for those who might be
unfamiliar with it. I would really recommend it. It's a "PP & M &" album and
the & is a gathering of new, middle and old voices. Its a lengthy CD (15
songs) and every song doesn't work, but there are plenty that do. Most
outstanding to me is the leadoff cut "The Kid". A Buddy Mondlock song that is
near perfect if not perfect. PP & M remind you how good they are on this
song, as well as on many other songs on the album. But I can't imagine them
getting it any better than they do on "The Kid". You need to hear it, but its
a song for the Dreamers out here... Not the Dreamers on the Rise, just the
Dreamers. Here's the first verse as a taste:
I'm the kid who ran away with the circus
Now I'm watering elephants
But I sometimes lie awake in the sawdust
Dreaming I'm in a suit of light.
Actually its not fair to take it out of context because the whole song goes
so nicely and the music and voices are just great.
Other obligatory obsure JS connection: There's a decent version of Deportee
(snippet in Illegals, Secret Tapes 86 I believe) and the middle voice of
"Julie, Judy, Angel Rain" sounds quite good on the Lifelines album.

Yes--
The little club is the Left Bank Bakery and Cafe, Blue Hill ME 04614, phone
(207) 374-2201. It's up near Haystack and Mt. Desert Island, more than a
kick and a spit from Portland. An absolutely beautiful area of the state.
I've caught a couple of JS shows there-- they were great. I did not see the
show w/Stookey (missed it by a night), but did catch a JS duet with Tony Bird.
No JS in Maine for a couple of years now. We'd like to see him at the Left
Bank once again. Call them and tell them to "book him, Danno."

I love the PP&M album, too, and agree that some songs work much better than

OK, I give up. Who is the middle voice, and what were the circumtances around
that song's recording?
