Photo courtesy of Jesse K. Shain In June 2002 The Trio visited Hawaii to play a series of shows at the Punahou School, where Bob Shane & Dave Guard met as students. The shows, which included a presentation of traditional lei's to the group, and the receptions that followed were a great success. This was a special event for The Trio, playing for Bob's classmates and bringing the music back to where it all started. This Land is Your Land. PBS stations nationwide broadcasted this outstanding special in December 2002. A celebration of the 50's & 60's folk rock music hosted by Tom and Dick Smothers and Judy Collins, this special featured legendary folk artists of the era, including The Kingston Trio, The Limelighters, Glenn Yarborough, Roger McGuinn, and many others.
