Yes, it was a great concert & it was fun to reminisce about the old Weavers.

"This group is really great and sounds every bit like the original Weavers."

In my opinion they are very, very close to the Weavers sound when they sing together; however, when they do the solo parts, the voices are obviously different. James Durst does a good approximation of Pete Seeger, with his soft-spoken voice & sometimes he reminds me of Fred Hellerman, as well. Martha Sandifer as Ronnie Gilbert comes off quite good too.

All the musicians are very talented & the show is definitely worth seeing.
