    I miss this man dearly. Anyone who reads this owes it to themselves to explore the vast library of John's music. He was so much more than a Daydream Believer. RIP Mr. Stewart.

    I had the privilege of meeting John Stewart at one of his shows in Georgetown in the early 70s and had the opportunity to spend an hour with him where we discussed each of our lives and his songwriting following the show. Just one of those moments in time that you never forget and that make you ponder why you were so lucky to cross paths.

    Davy’s voice made that song but it was also an anthem for the 1960s-sweet, uplifting and made you want to sing.

    Stewart had to be related to Johnny Cash somehow. The resemblance is uncanny.

    The Japanese all girl Pop Punk band Shonen Knife does a killer cover of Daydream Believer.

    I am so glad I came to learn of the genius of John Stewart. I was in the third grad when "Daydream Believer" as sung by Davy Jones/The Monkees came out. Oh, how I love that song, and how I loved The Monkees!!! 'Great story. What memories!!!

    John was a friend of mine; he influenced my group, The Frontiersmen, and we always met up with him be it with TKT or solo tour with David Batti thru the many years.

    just goes to show you how a song is produced is everything. Without a good producer the best isn't brought out in a song
