Subject: Congrats to Art Thieme From: bflat Date: 04 Jan 00 - 06:04 PM Just read your albumn "The Older I Get, The Better I Was," has been recognized by the FolkDJ community among the top for 1999.

Subject: RE: Congrats to Art Thieme From: Áine Date: 04 Jan 00 - 09:37 PM As a proud owner of of Art's 'On The River,' I can see why he would be so honored. Congratulations, Art, no one deserves such recognition more!! -- Áine |

Subject: RE: Congrats to Art Thieme From: catspaw49 Date: 04 Jan 00 - 09:53 PM Congratulations Art.....You're becoming an "Overnite" sensation!(:<)) Rather than "explore" the lyrics and threads, I would suggest that we all "explore" the possibility of Fantasy Records re-releasing Art's albums that were recorded on Kicking Mule...now owned by Fantasy. Some of us have already requested this and YOU can too by writing to them at -- info@fantasyjazz.com -- and letting them know you like the great storyteller and folk artist. You'll get back a cursory kind of note, but the effort may pay off. Of course there is always the Pun Circuit......... Spaw |

Subject: RE: Congrats to Art Thieme From: murray@mpce.mq.edu.au Date: 05 Jan 00 - 01:56 AM Way to Go Art! ddw. You can get it from Folk Legacy (Run by Mudcatter Sandy Paton.) Murray |

Subject: RE: Congrats to Art Thieme From: Art Thieme Date: 05 Jan 00 - 02:45 AM Hey folks, and bflat----I didn't know anything about the Folk DJ notice for the CD. That's very nice. I think I'll get in touch with Paul Stamler (co-producer of the CD with me and a folk DJ from St. Louis) and find out more about this. I ought to look in there more than I have over the last year. All the best, Art |

Subject: RE: Congrats to Art Thieme From: bob schwarer Date: 05 Jan 00 - 08:05 AM Nice going, Art. |

Subject: RE: Congrats to Art Thieme From: Big Mick Date: 05 Jan 00 - 08:30 AM Thanks Art, for "passin' it on". I mean that on a personal level as well as regards the CD. Of all that I have loved about the Mudcat, you sir, are at the top. Congratulations. Mick Lane |

Subject: RE: Congrats to Art Thieme From: KathWestra Date: 05 Jan 00 - 09:53 AM Way to go, Art! And I second Spaw's recommendation: send a quick e-mail to Info@fantasyjazz.com, and ask/beg/demand that they re-release Art's two great Kicking Mule recordings, which have been held hostage since Fantasy bought Kicking Mule. Let them know Art has an AUDIENCE waiting to hear more. |

Subject: RE: Congrats to Art Thieme From: bseed(charleskratz) Date: 05 Jan 00 - 12:41 PM Art, great news. I'm gonna send Fantasy another email, this time adding the information that the FolkDJs agree with my assessment. --seed |

Subject: RE: Congrats to Art Thieme From: raredance Date: 05 Jan 00 - 08:59 PM A dairy anology for midwesterners. In this era of homogenized music, sometimes the cream still rises to the top. rich r |

Subject: RE: Congrats to Art Thieme From: raredance Date: 05 Jan 00 - 09:01 PM "anology" is not a dairy term, just bad spelling |

Subject: RE: Congrats to Art Thieme From: BK Date: 05 Jan 00 - 09:06 PM Keep up the great work! The hell w/folks who think folk music/musicians are not "comercially viable." CONGRATS! Cheers, BK |

Subject: RE: Congrats to Art Thieme From: BK Date: 05 Jan 00 - 09:08 PM Keep up the great work! The hell w/folks who think folk music/musicians are not "comercially viable." (whatever that means; I suspect it means not pablum, myself. But then I'm often thought of as a curmudgeon...) CONGRATS! Cheers, BK |

Subject: RE: Congrats to Art Thieme From: lamarca Date: 06 Jan 00 - 12:09 PM Congratulations, Art! I think we have all your recordings (including the 2 Kicking Mule ones on vinyl), and my husband has learned many of his favorite songs from them. I'm glad more people will have a chance to discover your music because of this award, and hope it results in more well-deserved sales of your recordings.
My (from memory) list of Art's recordings: Am I missing any? |

Subject: RE: Congrats to Art Thieme From: kendall Date: 06 Jan 00 - 01:31 PM It just goes to prove you can't keep a good man down..now, Art, if you dont stop insulting me, I'll say more good things about you.. |

Subject: RE: Congrats to Art Thieme From: Mark Clark Date: 06 Jan 00 - 04:26 PM Art, I haven't been on in a while and just saw this thread. Please add my congratulations to those of everyone else. I view it as small recognition compared to your accomplishments but then much of the reward is simply in making a living doing what you love. - Mark

Subject: RE: Congrats to Art Thieme From: Art Thieme Date: 06 Jan 00 - 09:01 PM Kendall, Those were jokes, not insults !! But if you took 'em wrong, please allow me to set the record straight. Take my jokes--please. (That was no insult, that was my life.) Everyone, Thanks for the good words. Art

Subject: RE: Congrats to Art Thieme From: Margmac Date: 06 Jan 00 - 09:53 PM My favorite thread ever, honoring one of my favorite singers ever. Love to Art Margaret |

Subject: RE: Congrats to Art Thieme From: lloyd61 Date: 06 Jan 00 - 09:55 PM I would like to add my Congratulations, but Art I know you would trade it all for good Health. My Prayers are with you. That CD will always mean a lot to me. I have a wonderful picture of you preforming at the COMPOST winter retreat, at Tu-Winde-We, South Elgin, Illinois, several years ago. I'll get it posted on the MUDACT photos. We love you. Lloyd61 |

Subject: RE: Congrats to Art Thieme From: Art Thieme Date: 07 Jan 00 - 10:02 AM Lloyd61, That was a wonderful and VERY snowy retreat we had then--- with simply wonderful music. Thanks so much for reminding me. And you're right---I always figured I'd be able to pick my instruments way into the new century. The damn malady has a way o' hittin' ya where ya live. But please know I'm doing great. (Classic movie channels weren't there a few years ago---and neither was Mudcat.) Carol and I just had our 33rd anniv. and our son, Chris, married the lovely Shannon last year. She married him too---which is always a nice way to do it. And I'll be at the F.A. Clevland bash at the end of Febr. So rumors of my demise are quite exagerated. Onward... Art

Subject: RE: Congrats to Art Thieme From: Art again Date: 07 Jan 00 - 10:27 AM Margaret MacArthur, Your new CD of ballads is just grand---as always. And the 'family chorus' sounds beautiful. CONGRATULATIONS Margmac !!!! And thank you for sending it to me. It's spinning as we speak. People, if you're new to this thing we call folk in these latter days, you ought to know that Margaret MacArthur is a treasured singer of the ballads---mostly of Vermont but all over too. The story songs come alive in her hands. And her backup (Appalachien dulcimer) is gorgeous, tasteful and thoroughly right---the best way to highlight the epic tales that Margaret is telling. This is the epitome of what it means to sing songs passed down via the process of the oral tradition. Contact Whetstone Records (#05) at Margaret MacArthur----Box 15---Marlboro, VT 05344 Love, Art
