	The Limeliters - A Souvenir Program - Alex Hassilev
		Alex is a rare combination of musician, actor and linguist.
		Although he is the antithesis of the current crop of Ivy League "folk singers" who collect their material at Bennington and Swarthmore, Alex admits spending one year at Harvard, "My parents," he sighs, "considered it the status school." Desperately, he transfered to the University of Chicago.
		On stage with the Limeliters, he alternates between the guitar and the five-string banjo with the relaxed ease of a master and is often featured in a banjo solo.

	Liner Notes for Ananda Shankar's "Ananda Shankar"

		Alex Hassilev, incidentally, was no stranger to working with the Moog himself: The Zodiac: Cosmic Sounds had been one of the first albums to feature the instrument, played on that recording by Paul Beaver.
		As for the Ananda Shankar album, Alex Hassilev summarizes, "I had no thought that it would be a giant seller, so I was pleasantly surprised when it sold a fair number of copies in Europe some years back.

		The affable acoustic trio - Alex plays guitar and banjo, Mack plays guitar, and Andy plays one of those slender standup electric basses - is accompanied on this tour by a young mandolin player, Patrick Sauber.

	The Zodiac: Cosmic Sounds Liner Notes
		Producing the album was Alex Hassilev, one-third of the Limeliters, the successful pop-folk group of the early 1960s who had recorded their debut LP for Elektra in 1960 (followed by numerous other ones for RCA).
		Hassilev had recently formed a production company with Mort Garson, who had arranged one of Alex's RCA albums (as well as doing some arranging for fellow Limeliter Glenn Yarborough).
		Hassilev is fairly certain that bassist Carol Kaye and drummer Hal Blaine--both at the very top of the list for rock, pop, and session calls in Los Angeles in the 1960s--comprised the rhythm section.

		In the beginning the group, which took its name from the Limelite club in Aspen, Colorado, consisted of Glenn Yarbrough on guitar, Lou Gottlieb on bass, and Alex Hassilev on guitar and banjo.
		I didn't follow the Limeliters after lead singer Glenn Yarbrough left his mates Lou Gottlieb and Alex Hassilev to go solo, and even during their heyday, they were my third favorite act of the late '50's folk revival, behind the Kingston Trio and the Chad Mitchell Trio.
		Although I had heard the Limeliters on LPs (particularly "Through Children's Eyes") for several years, it was this manifestation of the group-- Lou Gottlieb, Alex Hassilev, and Red Grammer-- that I first saw in concert, and it was almost exactly the same show as presented on this album.

	MusicStories.net: THE LIMELITERS
		A West Coast folk group of the early sixties, the cabaret-orientated Limeliters bridged the gap between the old-left purism of the Weavers and the pop approach of the Kingston Trio.
		Combining Gottlieb's humorous introductions, Hassilev's cosmopolitan repertoire of Spanish, Russian and other material, and Yarbrough's clear tenor, the Limeliters were tailor-made for the soft centre of the folk scene.
		The latter went on to record for Elektra, Tradition, Warners and Stax, for whom the trio re-formed in 1974 to cut Glenn Yarbrough and the Limeliters.

		What with the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, and the Doors hot on the charts, there was little interest in a passe group of former folkies.
		Alex Hassilev produced the album, but with six different arrangers working on the eleven songs, there was little continuity to the record.
		Hassilev was the driving force on the album; he was the only one of the three who was still pursuing a career in music.

		The Limeliters perform Saturday at the Pavilion at Keystone, not exactly a beatnik joint, but small enough to allow for the intimacy that Hassilev says his music is capable of.
		Hassilev is candid about the young band's intentions, working for the soft drink giant.
		When the trio, rounded out by Lou Gottlieb, landed a gig at the Hungry I in San Francisco but didn't have a name, the club owner suggested deriving one from the name of club where they had cut their teeth.

	Hernando: Limeliters keep folks around with folk sound
		"We've kept at this because it is something too good to die," said Alex Hassilev, one of the group's founding members.
		Though the baritone died in 1996, "we still have that trademark sound he created," Hassilev said.
		With a background in opera, tenor Rick Dougherty lends the group its legitimacy, Hassilev joked.

	Limeliters - Press
		With harmony, wit, and good songs, Lou Gottlieb, Alex Hassilev, and Glenn Yarbrough found a receptive audience as the Limeliters in the early '60s.
		The group retains its early-'60s spark, singing bright harmony on "John Henry" and "Joy Across the Land." Hassilev sings a nice lead on "the Boxer," while Gottlieb covers the bizarre seduction song "Have Some Madiera M'Dear." The reunited Limeliters appear to truly enjoy performing together, which makes this music fun, not perfunctory.
		Lou Gottlieb, Alex Hassilev, and Glenn Yarbrough offer their unique blend of wit and charisma as though they'd never parted ways in the mid-'60s.

		The group consisted of Alex Hassilev, Lou Gottlieb and Glenn Yarbrough, and they began performing in 1959.
		You knew you were only getting Alex Hassilev and in some ways, that was enough because he was the primary producer and arranger for the original trio so their sound was largely his sound.
		But he'd also brought in not guys who were cheap but guys who were very good...so what went on the stage under the Limeliters imprint was wholly worthy of the name.
