(I represented one of the members in a lawsuit against him by an agent – while the jury was out the judge got a guitar from his office and they picked and grinned – never enjoyed sweating a jury before or since)

Third Bass? No, Who’s on first.

How about The Kingston Trio? o<[|;o)

There’s also a group called Tim-Buk-Three.

That would have been too cumbersome…

Jimmy Giuffre 3, Spacemen 3, Three Six Mafia, The Three Tenors and, to a much lesser extent, Three Doors Down

Going way back to the brief time when folk music ruled, there is “The Big 3,” which consisted of Tim Rose, Jim Hendricks, and a woman who went on to greater things, Cass Elliot. One of their best known tunes is “The Banjo” song, a version of "Oh Suzanna, the tune of which was used by “Shocking Blue’s” hit “Venus.”

Trio.

“Da da da”
