I was a major folk fan from late 50s-now and I never heard anyone other than the Kingston Trio do The Merry Minuet. I just did a search and came up with:
http://www.ibiblio.org/folkindex/m07.htm which only shows the KT and Bud and Travis (remember them?) as having recorded the song. Maybe the Limelighters also performed it but I don't think they recorded it. It was a trade-mark song of the Kingston Trio from their Live at the Hungry I album. I had the great good fortune (at a sad event) of seeing them in their last performance at St. John's University in NYC (they did The Merry Minuet). --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, braaahmaan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "anonyff" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, braaahmaan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > > > The germans are arguing with the french > > > > > > The south africans are arguing with the dutch > > > > > > And I don't like anybody very much. > > > > one of my all-time favorite KT songs! > > > > I am glad you got that reference! i was afraid the joke was a bit too > oblique.
