GUEST,Charles Kratz Favorite Art Thieme Songs (76* d) RE: Favorite Art Thieme Song 02 Mar 09


I love this romantic medly, particularly the second tune.

"Molly Darling/Mary Charlotte Anne McGhee"

And "Shake Sugaree" And "Cotton-eyed Joe"--just jaw harping and a capella vocal.

And dozens of others--Art's picking is wonderful, both on guitar and banjo; his storytelling is nonpariel, and he has the warmest, most expressive singing voice I've ever heard.

Oh, and I'm one of the lucky ones--I have a tape he gave me with "The Great Turtle Drive" on it, so as wonderful it is to read the tale (particularly with his recent twists), it's better to hear him tell it.

One song mentioned above I don't think I've heard him sing despite my owning four CDs and a tape is "The Night Rider's Lament," a song I truly love and wish I could do justice to, but lacking any falsetto, I can't do the yodel.
