To add my five cents (it's been up'd due to inflation), I am a huge fan of Rick Dougherty and have seen him in both the Limeliters and the Kingston Trio- he has one of the best pure clear tenors I have ever had the pleasure of hearing.

I say that whatever names of these talented musicians use as a band to get make a living (and keep this style of music going), go to it!

I do agree that this style is a lot more than just music- there's entertaining humor that runs through along the same spirit as the Smother's brothers or the Austin Lounge Lizards (all different, I know, although they all use humor with or along side their music).

With all this said, I am very saddened to hear that Bobby Haworth believes he was treated badly. The music business is a business, yes, although after all these years these groups become family with younger members being adopted into the fold. I hope that some healing can be done within this particular family. A real shame with such wonderful and talented professionals.

Okay- I think that was more than my five cent share... thanks for reading... that's if you read this far :)
