k² ... I bought a new turntable after being without for a decade or more. Got it at Circuit City for less than $100 .. well worth it just to hear the Limeliters again. I had forgotten how good they were and how much they sounded like the Kingston Trio, at least to my ears. I agree with your "funny and extremely erudite" comment about Lou Gottlieb, who makes listening to the group so much fun. I would be curious to know what sort of chatter has replaced his in the current group. I see there's a 3-CD collection of 36 of the original trio's songs that I may have to spring for .. looks interesting.

You were fortunate to have a family who listened to music together. Probably doesn't happen all that much anymore. The closest my family came to doing it was watching Your Hit Parade on TV in the '50s.

It must've been interesting seeing celebs at your workplace. At my former office, I regularly saw an individual who later became a celebrity in a notorious sort of way .. Ken Lay was an officer at my company before he moved on to Enron.
