I think for many die-hards, the forced retirement of Bob Shane (even though George has been a Trio member much longer than Nick, John and Dave combined), was a serious nail in the coffin. For others, it just doesn't matter, and the baseball team or sports, or Big Band metaphors will be used. But we all "get it." Some feel the current KT is a tribute group, others feel it's the tradition of the MUSIC that keeps it legit, and a few feel 1967 was the end of the KT (some even say it was 1961). Spin the wheel--take your pick.
