DEC 27th ~ The Almanac Singers to "A Mighty Wind" ~ Folk groups of the Revival

Nick Noble took us on a wonderful journey through the history of folk groups (trios and more) of the Folk Revival, filling us in on the interesting interconnections of personnel. As always, Nick supplemented our collection from his own and played a fabulous amount of music, from rarely heard versions of traditional songs to many number one and top 10 hits on the pop charts. Below are some fun videos of the Weavers, the Limeliters, The Tarriers and the Byrds reunion singing with Bob Dylan.
