Re: Meeting Dave Guard?
I remember hearing (with great excitement) the news that a reunion was in the works, and then hearing the sad news that Dave had taken a turn for the worse. However, despite my excitement, I and real misgivings about the possibility of a reunion. Neither Dave nor John Stewart (he was also supposed to be involved) really fit the Trio any more, for any number of reasons. If you look at the DVD of the 1981 reunion, Dave was doing his own thing instead of working to blend with the other guys. John tried much harder to relive those thrilling days of yesteryear, but even his performance left something to be desired. I also recall hearing a recording of a concert that Nick and John did before Nick rejoined the Trio, and it was rather ragged. I suspect that all of us would have been thrilled to see and hear those guys together again, until we actually heard the music.
