My requests: Uncle Bennie's Celebration I think ALL the Limeliters albums up through Making a Joyful Noise should be issued on digital cd. Especially Folk Matinee and Fourteen 14K Folk Songs. By the way, I like polished, well-performed, well arranged folk music, and it would be hard to beat the Limeliters in any of these catagories. The humor is outdated now, but Dr. Lou Gottlieb was imitated by hordes of comedians, who never did it as well as he. Political commitment is optional for folk singers, in my book. For those who think it was lacking with the Limeliters, though, you should read Dick Weissman's book, "Whose Side Are You On?" There was QUITE a bit more "COMMITMENT" to the Limeliters than anyone at the time appreciated.
