Folks,
I've not been able to pick and sing for 13 years and counting, but since word of this broke, my stock is through the roof. Really weird!!!!! People who knew "vaguely" that I did something with music, have been sending congratulations all day long.

Dan, Kendall, Jacqui -- you made uithappen. I am terribly happy for you!! But please know that, even if only one song by ol' Art is on the CD set, I am thoroughly enjoying the vicarious spasms of orgasmic delight I am experiencing. This will be, pure and simple, an on-going love-in for everything Bruce Phillips stood for. We have a huge chance, now, to tell so many out there who never heard of Utah Phillips and his exemplary life exactly why the Wobbly Preamble was so absolutely right on in predicting the the greed-fueled depression we are enduring now.

I'm proud to be a part of this project with so many incandescent artists. Thank you for having me do my part of it.

Love to all,

Art Thieme
