beachcomber Revisionist opinion on the Kingston Trio (145* d) RE: Revisionist opinion on the Kingston Trio 26 Jul 01


Have only one EP of the KT "Greenback Dollar" which I did like a lot but hav'nt played it in years (Hav'nt got the equipment anymore). I cannot remember well enough to be able to comment on their musicality in general but I do remember being dissapointed with the banjo playing on their version of "Boston MTA" especially when, in later years, I "discovered" bluegrass proper. Rick you mention "Plectrum banjo" in your early post to this thread, ? Was this what I was hearing then, on that track? just curious. We here in Ireland heard them a lot on radio in the late 50s of course (mainly on BBC broadcasts on long wave) but hardly ever anymore. This has prompted me to request them from my local Radio station who do excellent nostalgia pieces every evening from 6pm to 8pm. (For any one interested its on the net at www.wlrfm.com )
