I always felt that the FH5+2 played entirely "tounge-in-cheek", BUT, they did it with an amazing amount of chops and musicality. I talked to a persom who used to follow them regularly in the 50's and he said that their live performances were astounding and were devoid of the Disney "Schtick" (anyone who has worked there knows what I mean. This is not to denigrate their performances on cd, which I count amongst the greatest documents of the Trad revival of the 40' and 50's. Every one of them played like crazy and Ward Kimball has to be one of the funniest guys I have never met.
