Gold - John Stewart

There were other videos, some in concert and on TV, but this had the best sound quality of the several I viewed/listened to. I've always liked this song, love the back beat and also the story it tells.

Reading about John Stewart, I was surprised to learn he was once a member of The Kingston Trio and the songs he had written, namely Daydream Believer.

That's Stevie Nicks singing backup.

I had forgotten about it until I saw it on a "One-hit wonder" list, which wasn't really fair to Stewart considering the songs he had written or others performed with the Kingston Trio.

I was really getting into music when the song came out; I have always loved music, but it was around that time I was starting to make good money and could afford to buy pretty much what I wanted. I had just got married and my wife came into the union w/ a pretty good selection of records and she didn't mind me buying several albums at a time as long as I bought her a Crystal Gayle one.

Thanks f/ posting!
