The "Limeston Trio" - Generic Uptempo Folk Song

Current and former members of the 1950s and 60s pop folk group The Limeliters (left to right in the video - Bill Zorn, Gaylan Taylor, Rick Dougherty) perform one of the group's most popular numbers from recent years. The three musicians have all been second-generation members of the group, though not simultaneously. The original Limeliters included Glenn Yarborough, Alex Hassilev, and the late Dr. Lou Gottlieb, who performed together from 1958 through 1964 and intermittently after that. Gottlieb continued the group with different players at several points in the 1980s and 90s; following his death, Hassilev did so as well until his final retirement in 2005. The song is a gentle satire on the fast-paced opening concert numbers by folk revival groups like the Limes, Peter, Paul and Mary, the Chad Mitchell Trio - and the first and greatest of them, the Kingston Trio (referenced in the first verse), whose high-octane banjo-based songs were the hallmark of their diverse repertoire. "Generic Uptempo Folk Song" is a delightful piece in its own right, but this performance had added humor because Zorn and Dougherty are currently second generation members of the Kingston Trio, at whose "Fantasy Camp 11" this performance occurred. Zorn left the Limeliters in 2004 to join the KT following the retirement from touring of Trio founder Bob Shane (who was in the audience); Zorn was replaced by Taylor in the Limeliters. A bit of a dust-up occurred a year later when Dougherty also left the Limes to join his friends Zorn and George Grove in the Kingston group, leading some commentators to remark that the Kingston Trio was beginning to sound a lot like The Limeliters and to refer derisively to the newly-configured KT as "The Lime-ston Trio." Five years later, however, both groups have firmly established their separate second-generation identities, each using the basic arrangements of their 60s-era predecessors and continuing to tour, occasionally sharing the same stage in folk revival concerts. The appearance of this group at Shane's Kingston Trio Fantasy Camp as a surprise and under the "Limeston" name was a bit of self-kidding by Shane and his Trio with the able participation of Taylor. The Kingston audience loved it, as the reaction in this video attests. Videography by Tom Ivey.
