I was fresh out of Pomona,  California, and I was nowhere ready  for Manhattan!</div> <bR> <div> Bud and Travis were playing at the St. Moritz Hotel for several weeks, and  every night I'd go up and see the show and hang out with Travis and all the </div> <div> colorful people who also hung out with the man after the show. These were hip, artsy, eccentric people that I never knew existed in Pomona California.  Travis and I have remained friends since then.</div> <bR> <div> just before I joined the  Kingston Trio I was supposed to play at the hungry  i In San Francisco in a group with Travis, Mike Settle and myself. I regret I haven't yet found the  opportunity to sing with Travis, but it ain't over yet. ****</div> <bR> <div> Travis has always been the consummate guitarist and romantic vocalist. He  makes songs come to life, and he makes them his own.</div> <bR> <div> He's always been a babe magnet,  everybody's friend, a free roaming spirit,  never defeated, and never surrenders. No matter what happens to him  throughout this long crazy drive.</div> <bR> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <IMG SRC="21787c80.png" border=0 width="135" height="200" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <bR> <div> I'll always love him, and he'll always be a hero to me.”</div> <bR> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> John Stewart</div> <div> May 2001</div> <div> <A HREF="http://www.chillywinds.com" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.chillywinds.com">http://www.chillywinds.com</A></div> <bR> <bR> <div> ****</div> <div> Some two years after paying the above tribute to Travis Edmonson , the pair finally sang on stage together in August 2003 at the annual Fantasy Camp for budding KT sing-alikes  in Scottsdale, Arizona, with none other than college pal Nick Reynolds making it a trio.</div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <A HREF="john_stewart_m.htm" TITLE="Profile by John Stewart">Return to top</A>  </div> <bR> <div> -  or --  Return to Portraits       <A HREF="portraits.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Portraits of Travis Edmonson"><IMG SRC="3002a150.png" border=0 width="42" height="21" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"><IMG SRC="3102a150.png" border=0 width="42" height="21" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></A></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <A HREF="index.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Home Page"><IMG SRC="45164140.jpg" border=0 width="100" height="20" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></A><A HREF="links.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Links"><IMG SRC="45264140.jpg" border=0 width="100" height="20" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></A><A HREF="contact.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Contact the Site"><IMG SRC="45364140.jpg" border=0 width="100" height="20" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></A><A HREF="site_map.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Site Map"><IMG SRC="45464140.jpg" border=0 width="100" height="20" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></A></div> <div> <A HREF="records.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Recordings by Travis Edmonson"><IMG SRC="45564140.jpg" border=0 width="100" height="20" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></A><A HREF="portraits.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Portraits of Travis Edmonson"><IMG SRC="45664140.jpg" border=0 width="100" height="20" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></A><A HREF="features.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Features Section"><IMG SRC="45764140.jpg" border=0 width="100" height="20" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></A><A HREF="songs.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Travis Edmonson Songs"><IMG SRC="45964140.jpg" border=0 width="100" height="20" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></A></div> <bR> <div> <B>For a website featuring over 75 Travis Edmonson music clips go</B></div> <div> <A HREF="http://www.travisedmonson.com" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.travisedmonson.com"><B>www.travisedmonson.com</B></A></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div>   <script language="Javascript"> // do not make any changes to anything past this point or tracking script will not work var data; document.cookie='__support_check=1'; if (location.host) { var domain_name = '&d=' + location.host; } else { var domain_name = '&d=unknown'; } if (document.referrer) { var referrer_website = '&r=' + document.referrer; } else { var referrer_website = '&r=unknown'; } if (navigator.appName) { var browser_name = '&b=' + escape(navigator.appName); } else { var browser_name = '&b=unknown'; } if (navigator.userAgent) { var full_browser_info = '&fbi=' + escape(navigator.userAgent); } else { var full_browser_info = '&fbi=unknown'; } if (navigator.appVersion) { var app_version = '&aV=' + escape(navigator.appVersion); } else { var app_version = '&aV=unknown'; } if (navigator.javaEnabled()) { var java_enabled = '&jE=' + navigator.javaEnabled(); } else { var java_enabled = '&jE=unknown'; } if (screen.width) { var screen_width = '&sw=' + screen.width; } else { var screen_width = '&sw=unknown'; } if (screen.height) { var screen_height = '&sh=' + screen.height; } else { var screen_height = '&sh=unknown'; } if (screen.colorDepth) { var color_depth = '&cd=' + screen.colorDepth; } else { var color_depth = '&cd=unknown'; } data = 'a=track' + domain_name + referrer_website + browser_name + full_browser_info + app_version; data = data + java_enabled + screen_width + screen_height + color_depth; document.write('<img border=0 hspace=0 vspace=0 src="http://stats.directnic.com/tracker.php?' + data + '">'); </script> <noscript> <img border=0 hspace=0 vspace=0 src="http://stats.directnic.com/tracker.php?a=noscript"> </noscript>   </div> </td> </tr></table></body>
