Limeliters "Have Some Madera M'Dear" Lou Gottlieb live 1981

[@dennismcmanus7278]

I lived at Morning Star Ranch.He made a home there for many of us. Much love. He was a very special man. RIP “Uncle Lou”

[@cabngirl]

A friend of mine lived next door- he had some intriguing tales of that special place/time.

[@momster64]

My dad introduced my sister and me to the Limeliter, Weavers, Kingston Trio, at a young age (late 60’s) and I’ve had a love for them ever since. ❤

[@dianecheney4141]

I had this sung to me with enthusiasm at 17

The rest of the story???

[@dianecheney4141]

@@NoSnoozeBlues1 I had joined one of those re enactment groups and one gentleman sang it to me one night and a blushed all the way through it and everyone thought that was so cute that they’d occasionally request him to sing it for me again

I had the pleasure of seeing them in San Diego, it was a joy. They were wonderful times.

[@TheDellaniOakes]

Such a great song, and he does it so well.

[@brianjonestone6908]

Lou took this song to another level - a truly fine comedian, as well as a musician.

[@charlesclager6808]

Damn I miss the Limeliters.

[@markburnham7512]

I used to listen to The Limiliters with my dad. Still do (without him, sadly). Cannot get my son (now 40) to appreciate the vibe. I sure hope their memory does not fade entirely. Would love to know that some young person still gets it.

[@markmisiti8772]

My story is very similar to yours! Dad and i loved listening to them, and as a guitarist, i learned many of their songs!

[@momster64]

Agreed! We’d listen to Limeliters or the Weavers or similar after church each Sunday (late 60’s - early 70’s) and have loved them ever since ❤

[@davidnissim589]

Lou is sorely missed, he was a funny man

[@MadriverP]

Lou, produced my first album, he was wonderful and very entertaining to be with and he also did an excellent job of working out the material for the record. I remember him very fondly. I really loved their music.

Absolutely brilliant! Axxx

[@alexconaghan3486]

This is a true treat! Indeed. Thank you - this is priceless!

Cheers from the Pacific West coast of Canada.

Funny I'm listening in December 2018 and radio stations are banning "Baby It's Cold Outside" because of the undertones, they say.

[@plesniak1939]

Good morning ❤

[@marlenedivia3994]

This is so great, it should be required listening!

[@bbbartolo]

Tom Lehrer must've loved this as much as the rest of us.

[@Elitist20]

First heard it in the original Flanders & Swann version from 'At the Drop of a Hat.' It was years before I got the reference to 'all unperforated'!

[@zenbob]

Nice version of the Flanders & Swann original from their At The Drop of a Hat show. Michael Flanders had the dubious advantage of singing it from a wheelchair, which upped the ante for lascivious deviance. Lou Gottlieb's take is delightful.

[@leslielloyd7824]

A True Classic!

[@plesniak1939]

❤ Good morning

[@garyriecke6815]

Kind of funny the Limeliters appeared at the local concert venue a couple of years ago. I asked during intermission if they were going to sing “Madera” and I really got yelled at. Said they would never sing that song again and I was a “perverted individual for asking. It wasn’t a kind and loving conversation. So goes the new world I guess, I never thought of myself as a pervert, just a kind old man who used to like folk music and the limeliters. Next we won’t be able to hang Tom Dooley anymore. Sad, So Sad.

[@KlunkerRider]

The National Anthem of Dirty Old Men everywhere XD

[@EdWaldrup]

I suspect that this song is fiction. It should be.

[@samgeegee8336]

no, it's a music hall comic song from the 1880s, but it's too subtle for you !!

[@chrisdansey2600]

It was written by Michael Flanders and Donald Swan in the 1960s

[@plesniak1939]

❤how are you doing this morning

[@toanangel108]

A friend long missed. Dr. Lou...

[@billyb8]

Not bad. I must admit I still prefer the Flanders and Swann.

[@rogerfancher2672]

Even more controversial NOW than than it was back then.

[@EliezerPennywhistler]

In what sense? Give examples.

[@KlunkerRider]

+Eliezer Pennywhistler Ask Bill Cosby :-O

[@EliezerPennywhistler]

+KlunkerRider But he never performed "Have Some Maderia M'Dear" .

[@KlunkerRider]

Eliezer Pennywhistler but I'm sure he served it....

[@EliezerPennywhistler]

+KlunkerRider Have YOU ever served Madeira to anyone?

[@dovlerner6502]

Klunker rider, thou sayest the truth. Yea verily. Right on, man!!

[@Ozmulki]

Are any of their live concerts on DVD or video? Brilliant

I’m not a fan of berries, so, have some m’dera my dear, because it goes really well with my grapes.

the drummer is beside himself 4:28 xD

[@saffronsworld1508]

Where are the rest of the Limelighters.?

[@dennismcmanus7278]

Brown rice in his beard. Too funny

[@BreninyGeifr]

Overcooked it, sorry. I doubt anyone will ever do this better than Flanders and Swann, of course, but this doesn't even come close for me. It's lost all the subtlety, all the stealth, all the slyness of the original

[@rockabillyray2236]

Is that Billie Jean King in the audience?

[@milart12]

At 2:19? I doubt it but kinda looks like her

[@rogerfancher2672]

Talk about the wrong song @ the right era

[@ingenuezeynep]

Well... That did not age well

I just clicked on this video to see how ratty his beard looked. :P
