Since I have lately been hooked on the Chad Mitchell Trio and The Kingston Trio I have noticed some similiarities in performances. Mostly of songs like The Reuben James, Maid of Fife, Greenland whale.

They both had signature sounds and songs but also som striking similarities.

I wonder if they were copying each other or were they copying The Weavers and The Almanc Singers.

Any ideas?
