I want to start this entry off by apologising for my utter neglect of this site over the last two months. Apparently I completely missed the news about Walter's February 11 art exhibit at Georgetown U. Hopefully you caught the news in time by perusing WalterEgan.net, the official Walter Egan site.
Happily, I have not missed the news about his concert on at McNeir Hall (Georgetown Campus) on April 4th. The concert begins at 1:00 p.m. Admission is free.

Terrible news to report - songwriting legend (and one of my personal favorite musicians) John Stewart has died at the age of 68 after suffering a massive stroke or brain aneurysm. Stewart was best known as a member of the folk group The Kingston Trio, but had carried on a long and prolific solo career in the years since and was influential to many artists, including Walter Egan and Lindsey Buckingham.
