donald	William Clauson - where is he now? (52* d)	william clauson	22 Sep 02
Some time ago, I came across William Clauson's solo recording on RCA, titled simply "Folk Songs" (LPM 1286) and ever since, I've been trying to find out his current whereabouts and activities. Clauson is, on the strength of this one recording, one of the great folk troubadors. His mastery of disparate folk traditions is simply stupendous. Clauson is really a lieder singer, able to create with each song a vivid dramatic moment. Listening to him, I constantly think of Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau's rare evocative power. All the same, Clauson is squarely within the folk-song tradition. An amazing artist! If any of you have heard Clauson's recordings and care to comment, please be in touch. And if you have the answer to my question about his current whereabouts, I'll be doubly grateful.
