Oops!!! Sunday Session!!!!

I guess we do differ on Weavermania vs. Work O The Weavers. You are right it is hard to compare them. I had the pleasure of being the MC for Weavermania at the Hurdy Gurdy in Paramus. I was struck by the feeling that Weavermania gave to the show. I disagree with Bill that they are "pure entertainment". They did a bit of history (Bill have seen Weavermania on a different night. They do not try to be the Weavers, they talk about the group), not the docudrama that Work O' accomplishes, but for my money I enjoyed the presentation of their effort because they did not get bogged down with dramatics. Plus, the musical talents of Michael Smith, Mark Dvorak, Barbara Barow and Tom Dundee gives their show a cohesive sound. I don't think that it is fair to simply call them a "tribute band".

Okay, Bill and I have done our Siskel and Ebert imitation. Perhaps some other Mudcatters have seen either of the shows and would like to weigh in.   The important thing is that there are two groups introducing the music of the Weavers to new audiences, and rekindling memories for older fans.   Go see them both!!!
