Alex Hassilev, founding member of The Limeliters, has seen the hilarious Christopher Guest mockumentary of folk music, A Mighty Wind twice. It's pretty good satire," he says, wearily. "And I like the fact that they play their own instruments and the soundtrack is very believable. It sounds the way acoustic music should sound. The Folksmen are clearly a composite of the Limeliters and a couple of other acts. They draw on a general Sixties folk repertoire. And they do it pretty well."
