By the way where are the honorary puns to celebrate this achievement? It seems that should be the theime of this thread.

16 Jul 02 - 06:57 PM (#749287) Subject: RE: ART THIEME gets LIFETIME Achievement Award!! From: Abby Sale No, I object to this award altogether. I mean, it's a fine thing to give one of folkdom's very finest an award but for me this is the wrong one. I said the same thing when Vermont gave one of these to Margaret Macarthur last month. Nope. Wrong award. Maybe money - (lots of it) - would be ok but not Lifetime Achievement. I expect Art to achieve a good deal more yet! Why should he have to stop now? |

I especially liked the "Doing Strange Things In The Name of Art" logo. I have it hanging above my desk and giggle every day. It's become a mantra, really. Where I use to be just an aimless weirdo, you have given me direction, and I thank you for that. *g* Have fun at the festival, and be sure to let us know how it went, okay? ~yerJen |

"yep, my daddy used to go to bars where folks claimed they actually heard Art Thieme sing songs and tell outrageous puns...but I expect it was kinda like Paul Bunyan and Dacy Crockett--just made up.." but, with ALL of those puns in Mudcats archives(some 3 0r 4 times..*grin*) Art will not need to to move to 'apocryphal'.... have a great time at the festival, Art! |

22 Jul 02 - 04:24 PM (#752593) Subject: RE: ART THIEME gets LIFETIME Achievement Award!! From: Art Thieme It was a marvelous day----even if it was over 100 degrees F in the sun. Old friends hauled Carol and I & my w.chair up there and new friends brought us home as we ain't driving now. Had a fine time hearing Annie Hills and P. & L. Berryman and even an amazing Czech bluegrass band. Also, be sure to look for the rise of a great young prodigy country/bluegrass singer named AMY FINDERS. Nobody's voice has grabbed me like her voice and style and phrasing did yesterday in a long time. --- And I never ever thought I'd say T.G.F.S. (thank God for Starbucks) but that airconditioning sure did feel fantastic. And it's cool as hell to be able to say I got an award from Woodstock. Amy Beth and all her cohorts did a fine job. They took the placque off of all their teeth, gave it to me and it's now hanging proudly on my wall. ;-) If any of you are having a hard time picturing WOODSTOCK, ILLINOIS, I can tell you that the town with it's picturesque town square, where this festival happened, is where BILL MURRAY's lovely film, GROUNDHOG DAY took place. (So I guess I ought to go back there today 'cause it's all gonna happen again and it'll be day job vu all over again. Thanks again. Art and Carol Thieme Peru, Illinois

And as your official chronicler of bad puns, I believe that you must have been refreshed and rejuvenated by all of this since I think that is a new one. Again, my sincerest congratulations. Were it in my power I would grant you the same on behalf of Mudcat as you have taught so much to so many here, not the least of all me. Pat |

I considered very strongly, just jumping in the car and making the trek. But my grandson decided he needed some spoiling time, and I had promised, so I couldn't. I am very proud to call this gentle man a friend. Mick |
