I certainly cannot add any eloquence to these marvelous tributes to Tony and all of the very deeply held, personal connections Tony and John made with their music - for so long and for so many. Yes, I was one. Saw them in concert sometime around the mid-70's and they instantly helped cement my newfound love of folk music. Tony's extensive knowledge of folklore, his vast repertoire, his lively, quippy sense of humor, and the unbelievable quality of his crystal clear voice - so much joy he and John brought to the world. I can only hope and believe that this must be a profound consolation to his family and loved ones.
