Between the years 2000 and 2007, former Kingston Trio members Nick Reynolds and John Stewart conducted an annual event that they named "Trio Fantasy Camp" in Scottsdale, AZ. Following the rough outline of the many sports fantasy camps, TFC "campers" were able to spend several days in joyful conclave with those folk music legends - conversing, going to songwriting and Q&A meetings, and spending quite a bit of time just playing Trio songs and jamming. The highlight event for the campers, however, was the chance to join Reynolds and Stewart on stage during the shows presented each evening, picking a favorite KT number and performing it with the two, living out the fantasy for about three minutes of being a member of the Kingston Trio. And just as sports fantasy campers are issued authentic uniforms from their favored teams - each Trio fantasy camper was issued an authentic, regulation three-quarter length sleeved striped shirt, the Kingston trademark from their heyday fifty years ago. John Stewart died in January of this year, and Nick Reynolds followed him on October 1st. While remaining Trio founding member Bob Shane has promised to continue the camp with its festive celebration of KT songs and folk music in general, the "fantasy" element at the center of the original concept is now but a memory - a splendid one for those fortunate souls who were able to leap on stage and play a tune with Nick and John. Here on our Chilly Winds channel, we have been delighted to present some of those "fantasy performances" of our friends and fellow campers Tom Ivey, Steve Cottrell, and Nikki Sherwin, as well as a now poignant duet with Reynolds and Stewart singing "Sloop John B." When it was my turn in 2004 to perform with the heroes of my boyhood, I chose the song most closely associated with Nick Reynolds, the rollicking "MTA" in which hapless commuter Charlie is marooned on the Boston subway for want of a nickel to pay the exit fare. Standing on stage and singing the song that Nick made famous as he beamed at me throughout the performance was one of the highlights of my musical life. So this upload of the Kingston Trio song "MTA" is my memorial to John and Nick (who can be heard at the end of the number grumbling the same "Et tu, Charlie?" that he did on the original 1959 recording). May they both rest easy with the knowledge of the joy that they provided for millions of people over scores of years. Jim Moran from The Chilly Winds aka Sensei 48
