Abstract
Polly Stewart and Hal Cannon recall the folk music revival movement in Utah and in national scope. During the 1960s, influenced by folk musicians like The Kingston Trio, a group of young people in Salt Lake City embraced folk music as an art form and as a spiritual pursuit. They then went on their separate ways, until 2007, the principal musicians thrilled the audience with a reunion concert, bringing back the memories of that magic era
