In
the words of Bob Shane (from a Live at the Crazy Horse
monologue):
"This
might be amusing to you; we got two Grammys in our life.
The first one was in the first year of the Grammys given
in 1959 for '58, and they had just called us folk singers
and they didn't have folk-singing category. So they gave
us a Grammy for 'Best Country and
Western Presentation.'"
"And
the next year we got a Grammy for 'Best
Folk Performance', for the same
song (Tom Dooley.) . . .
. . . Whoopie!"
"You
can't imagine how strange that was to us."
