Thread Name: Endangered Performers List
Subject: Endangered Performers List
A friend recently heard from Nick Reynolds, founding member of the Kingston Trio, who lives near me, in Coronado, CA. He is confined to a wheelchair and has, apparently suffered a stroke and has some difficulty with his speech. His old mate, Bob Shane, also has health issues and carries oxygen with him. He is now living in the Phoenix area. Travis Edmonson, of Bud & Travis fame, also in the Phoenix vicinity, suffered an aneurism-caused stroke some years ago which prevented him from playing guitar. If you ever heard him sing and play, 'tis a sad loss! Are there others who you know to be in "endangered" or disabled status?

Also, we have recently lost Utah Phillips, Jon Stewart and, farther back, Lou Gottlieb, of the Limeliters. Quite a list, and I know there are many others fondly remembered from earlier times. Who would you add to your personal list of the "gone, but not forgotten?"
And, they certainly don't have to be household names.
