I was always a great Chad MItchell Trio fan.......maybe not quite so much when Chad Mitchell left. I'd have to re-listen to all those songs again to make any intelligent rebuttal to Joe's comments, but I would like to say that I totally agree with you, Joe, about the Lucy Baines song....but I figured maybe I was just missing something. I remember really liking Ecumenical Waltz. But maybe the difference comes form my Jewish heritage, where Joe comes from a Catholic background. As for I Was Not a Nazi Polka.......I had mixed feelings, and still do. Somehow it seemed to have the potential to 'tar' a lot of innocent Germans. Yet......there was probably a lot of truth in that 'denial', and individuals failure to take responsibility for the part they played. But I'd have to listen to it again. And I liked their "12 Days of Christmas" parody (as the Chad Mitchell Trio) even less.
