Tom Rush's most famous song (that he wrote) was "No Regrets". He was one of the first (maybe THE first) to record songs by James Taylor, Jackson Brown, and Joni Mitchell.
He was one of a group of performers in Boston area in the 60s. He's a Harvard grad. I saw him in Dallas years ago, he said all these white college boys were trying desperately to sing like old black field hands!
He lives in Wyoming now (has a website too)...ran his own record label for a while...doesn't release much new stuff...does commercial voice overs. Limited tours in New England and on the west coast. Great show if you can catch it. In 1980 he taped a PBS special that included David Bromberg and Emmylou Harris.
John Stewart was a replacement member of the Kingston Trio. He did some work with Rosanne Cash in the 80s. "Armstrong" is a killer song about the moon landing.
