Darling was with the Tarriers when they had their hits, "The Banana Boat Song"("Day-O"), And "Cindy, Oh, Cindy" (Down by the seaside sifting sand...) in the 1950s.

Erik Darling, from my memory (which aint to good lately), then joined THE WEAVERS when Pete left. That made room for Eric Weisberg to join The Tarriers. I saw them at the new Gate Of Horn in Chicago with Weisberg after the original Gate burnt down. The new club was a spruced up fancy nightclub at the State St. and Rush St. conjunction. Had big pretensions and plush carpets. Bar downstairs and show room upstairs. The new Gate was to the old Gate what Ricky Whats-his-name is to Pete Seeger.
