I'm a believer in the old addage: "The show must go on." In considering this offer I also thought about all the fans who have purchased tickets to upcoming shows and I knew folks would be disappointed if those dates were cancelled. And not only for the sake of the fans, but also for the sake of The Kingston Trio name and legacy. I know there are a lot of bad feelings about the way this deal went down between Bob Shane and the Reynolds/Marvin corporation. But I think that continuity and integrity are important, no matter who the personnel involved may be. In reality it's only those of us on the inside who are aware of all this turmoil. The ticket buyers - those who attended our show last night and future attendees, are out for an evening of enjoyment hearing the songs they loved in their younger days. For the most part, I think this group does a decent job of bringing the music to life.
