The US Wayfarers were a group similar to the Limelighters in syle. I personally heard them perform in Jacksonville, FL in late 1963 0r early 1964 when I was a Naval officer stationed nearby. As a hard-core 60's folkie, I was very favorably impressed, as I recall. When I transfered to a new Naval duty station in Charleston, SC, in the fall of 1964, I found they had split up and two of them had opened a second floor folk club there and billed themselves as the "Half-fares". They performed themselves and had other local and touring acts.
