Ex-Kingston Trio Member Dead

Do you remember the Kingston Trio? I Do. John Stewart, who wrote the Monkees hit "Daydream Believer" and became a well known figure in the l960's folk music revival as a member of The Kingston Trio, has died according to the band's Web site. He was 68. He suffered a massive stroke or brain aneurysm and died early Saturday at a San Diego hospital. He joined The Kingston Trio in l961, three years after the band released its version of an old fold song, "Tom Dooley" that went on to become a hit.
