Honoring Bob Shane b. 2/1/34 - d. 1/26/20 It was with great pleasure and a great honor to have known and worked with the original Kingston Trio and their legacy today is firmly intact. As the exclusive agency for the heirs we at Producers, Inc. enjoy seeing the original energy and sound kept alive and well for sold-out audiences across the country. I enjoyed many hours of fun and adventure with BOB SHANE. He ran the organization and kept the TRIO and legacy active these many years. Thank you, Bob for your loyalty, perseverance and love of folk music and its impact world-wide. We will continue our responsibility to keep your music alive. You will be missed. Craig Hankenson, President, Producers, Inc.
I saw Bob once in 1976. He had a version of the Trio going and appeared with all 3 original Limelighters. I can't remember who opened. It was at the Circle Star Theater I think. I went with my parents, who had quite a few of their records. My mother told me she and my dad went to see the Kingston Trio in 1958 in San Francisco and left their three kids including a 3-month-old baby in Napa with another young family. Oh no! Their parking garage locked them out and they had to wait until it opened the next morning in order to return to their children. Fortunately there were pay telephones in those days, and they usually worked.
