I don't have the Eric connection, but the Kingston Trio was one of the very
few, like maybe the only one, albums that were allowed in my house as a kid.
My dad was all classical, which as I age, I've come to love.  But I loved
the trio and I've loved my journey through popular music.

To the point that one of my kids was asking the other kid if they knew 
who Linda Rondstadt is.  He didn't so the kid that knew said you know 
when dad drinks too much and is crying when he is listening to music?
That's Linda Ronstadt.  I'm a cringing a little but I'm not ashamed
that that's how the kids see me, I could do worse.  Love me some 
Linda, it's not just her, it's anyone who is delicate in their 
music, I just love that.  Ruth Moody is another example.  Carole
King is similar.

I tried to move my Dad off classical, my middle name is Walden after
Walden pond, my Dad was a huge Thoreau fan.  I was an Eagles fan and
Don Henley, the Eagles drummer and writer, foght off an attempt to
put housing around Walden pond.  I thought maybe that would get him
to listen, no joy.  He was classical only.
