As noted here in the past, I am/was a big fan of the folk-singing group, The Limeliters. There's still a group touring by that name, and I'm sure they're quite good, but it's a new generation of Limeliters…not the ones I grew up listening to.
The trio originally consisted of Lou Gottlieb, Alex Hassilev and Glenn Yarbrough. Around 1965, they more or less disbanded but began getting back together for occasional reunion concerts in the seventies. Thereafter, there were occasional performances with other performers filling in here and there, especially for Yarbrough, who went off and pursued a rather successful career as a solo. Gottlieb passed away in 1996 and for a time, Hassilev anchored whatever appearances were made by a group under the Limeliter name. He recently retired, although I'm told he occasionally goes out with the current troupe and once in a while, they're booked in tandem with Yarbrough, I believe.
Anyway, this clip is from a 2002 PBS Special. That's Alex Hassilev introducing the song and performing, and this may be the last bit of video of the group with him in it.
