Except many true Kingston Trio fans, myself included, did feel that the voices and personalities during the group's recording heyday did stop going to concerts and buying records. The Mormon Tabernacle Choir I am sure never had any records featuring distinctive solo performer voices and personalities. They are a group without a name or a face. To many, the Trio were quite the opposite.

In the case of the Kingston Trio, where as once they were artists and entertainers, the replacements simply became entertainers emulating the art of their predecessors. This even more holds true when no original members exist.

And Ron, the body of work with George Grove has always been the same body of work arranged, in some cases written, and recorded by the groups with either Guard/Stewart in them from the 20 or so albums 1957-1967.
