Michael “Mike” Stewart (April 19, 1945 – November 13, 2002) was the co-founder and guitarist for We Five. ==Life and career== Stewart was the brother of John Stewart (1939–2008), a one-time member of The Kingston Trio and later a very successful singer/songwriter, and the father of Jamie Stewart, frontman of popular avant-garde group Xiu Xiu. Stewart eventually became a successful record producer, with one of his biggest successes being Billy Joel's ''Piano Man''. He left the music industry in the early 1990s and became a computer programmer. He later played bass in his son's band The Indestructible Beat of Palo Alto (IBOPA).〔 〕 Stewart died on November 13, 2002, reportedly a result of "a long illness." However, Jamie Stewart has acknowledged that his father's death was, in fact, a suicide. The track "Mike" from Xiu Xiu's album ''Fabulous Muscles'' concerns Jamie's reaction to his father's death. ''Wounds to Bind: A Memoir of the Folk-Rock Revolution'', a reminiscence by We Five co-founder Jerry Burgan incorporating Burgan's childhood friendship with Stewart, ponders Stewart's death, life and creative drive.〔https://rowman.com/ISBN/9780810888616〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Michael Stewart (musician)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
