Odd, that I should check this forum for the first time in months and see this post near the top.

And yes, this is the same John Stewart. "All the Brave Horses" was originally found on The Lonesome Picker Rides Again album. It was written in part as a response to the murder of his friend, Bobby Kennedy.

Shoot all the brave horses
And how will we ride?
Shoot all the brave horses
And how will we ride?
Shoot all the brave horses
And how will we ride?
And ford the cold waters
How will we ride?

Unfortunately, John died three months after that concert, on January 19, 2008. He suffered a massive stroke early that morning and died peacefully in the company of his family and friends.
