Thread Name: Lyr Req: Songs by the Limeliters
Subject: RE: Songs by the Limeliters
I always thought that Tony Randell (of the odd couple fame on TV) was the originator of Madeira, My Dear. Oh well.

Just before we left Jersey, Honey, Bert (our Bert), our friend Figgy, and myself went to see what I call the Kingston Trio Cover Band. I seem to remember one of the guys used to be in the Limelighters. Mainly, they sounded like the Kingston Trio I remember, except for "Mariah", they clobbered that song. Before this wonderful(tsk) group came on we had the pleasure of seeing/hearing Glenn Yarborough and a comedy trio whose name escapes me. I thought he sounded pretty good.

All in all, it was a good evening. It was in an large old wooden church and I felt like I was inside a big old Martin. Fun night, good company.
