Thread Name: The Weavers and the McCarthy Era
Subject: RE: The Weavers and the McCarthy Era
I love Weavermania and I've said that in several posts and threads. Coming from Chicago as I do, all of these folks have been a big part of my music listening experience. Weavermania did a show a while back at the Chicago Historical Society and Pete was there and joined 'em for several songs. Fo me, it was a real nostagia trip. So much of my life is tied into those arrangements and harmonies that there is no way I can't like what they are doing.

It seems, from what Ron Olesko has said, that I was in the 3rd year of high school the year Ron was born. I was already going to the Gate Of Horn to hear Josh White, Odetta, Paul Clayton, Theo Bikel, Peter Yarrow, Lord Buckley and Sandy Paton. The house band for their Sunday hoots was a trio (the Frets) with Roger McGuinn, Johnny Carbo and Louis MacDonald.---------Damn, Ron, you make me feel old as hell! --- (It's interesting and fun to watch these kids doing their homework.) ;-)
