Speaking of the Kingston Trio, this is an excerpt from the San Diego Reader. Guitarist Joey Harris mentioned Lindsey when talking about how John Stewart fell ill while visiting Nick Reynolds.

"I joined John's backup band in 1975, right after I got out of [Coronado] high school," says Harris, who played with the Beat Farmers for 11 years. "I was with him until 1979, when Lindsey Buckingham convinced him to pick up an electric guitar. We agreed I should leave the band."
Both Jorgenson and Harris say that Stewart had been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease last summer. "Hardly anyone knew about it," says Jorgenson. "Unless you really, really knew him, you couldn't tell he had it."
Jorgenson reports that Stewart lived in San Diego before moving to Pasadena at a young age. Lindsey Buckingham recently performed on four songs for Stewart's new album, recorded at Jorgenson's Pasadena-area studio. Stewart's wife now owns the masters to the unnamed album.
"It's kind of a car-themed album," says Jorgenson. "One of the songs is 'I Will Never Drive Again,' which addresses the Alzheimer's situation. Once you're diagnosed, you can't drive."
