K: Keeping memories alive

As a student in the late 60s the folk singing boom meant many long nights of songs and music for me and my friends. This one, The Black Velvet Band, was sure to get people singing along.

Anyone remember the Kingston Trio? My dad a couple of their records, and he learned to play them on the guitar. We used to sing along.
