Thread Name: Art Thieme's CD: The Older I Get, The Better I Was
Subject: RE: Art Thieme's New CD
I first heard Art in Iowa City, IA around '78,'79 I think, at a place called The Mill. I was transformed. Bought his album that night---I think it was "Bold Faced Lies"---being a disc it's still packed in boxes, but I do hope I can get the music in cd form. I'm definitely ordering the one mentioned in the above posts. Art inspired me to pursue playing the guitar...back then, although I'm still trying to run down that dream. (Guess I'm a slow learner...or is it just that life gets in the way? I will say Art's music inspired me more in following the dream than my older brother, who played jazz professionally in San Francisco for 30 years. Go figure;-}. Mike
