CD album " American Originals" liner note
... The Trio moved to Decca Records for a couple of albums before Stewart left and Shane and reynolds went their own separate way. "When I left the Trio, Stewart says "I wanted to form another trio, with Henry Diltz and a girl, though we couldn't find the right one.I discovered Buffy Ford in Fairfax, California, where she was working in little theater - she'd been on the road as a member of The Young Americans. But by that time, Henry was busy with his career as a photographer,and it didn't sound like Buffy and I need a third voice."...

Russ Kunkel (Henry Diltz's Book "California Dreaming")
My first real professional job was playing with Henry, Chip Douglas ( Modern Folk Quartet MFQ ) and John Stewart and that was the first time I ever went on the road - we played Boston, New York, Chicago - it was pretty exciting for me, I was about 18 or 19. ...When I was working with him there was a fiddle player named Chris Darrow also in band. While Chris was touring in Europe he had become friends with Peter Asher who worked for Apple...
