"Through the years it's really been very nice, our fans
have been wonderful, the way they've come up to me and said, 'Oh God, The Weavers are so wonderful' and
'You've
changed my life,' and all these wonderful things. And I
always felt a little cheated because I never had the chance to sit
out front and listen to The Weavers. But that changed
tonight."
Fred Hellerman
"Four
wonderful people who've...picked up where the Weavers left off. I
put on the recording and had to listen to it twice. FANTASTIC!"
Pete
Seeger

Weavers in historical context and the sound so purely

"To say your show was great would be an understatement. The music and the commentary were such that anyone closing their eyes would have been, like I was, transported back in time to what was truly folk music's golden age. As I said that night, thank you so much for keeping it alive."
Steve Aaronson, Bethlehem MusikFest
"Superb.
Their harmonies and musicianship are first-rate, and more
important, they have that elusive quality of gentle charisma and
idealistic energy that made The Weavers so dynamic. Afterward, I
got a flood of delighted comments and emails from audience
members, saying 'This was the best show yet' and 'You've raised
the performance bar.'"
Scott Sheldon, The Sanctuary Concerts, Chatham, NJ
"What WotW
did for this community was beyond a great concert. You brought
people to tears because of the emotional memories you evoked. It
was particularly gratifying to me that one of the young people
visiting me this weekend heard songs he hadn't known were Weavers
songs--and heard history he hadn't learned."
