I'm a folkie and big fan of Art's - I would like to add my family's voices to the call out for Art - we miss you, take it slow but take it! and all that good stuff.

It ends up my great grandfather, a German immigrant to Chicago who spent time in prison for "light fingers," is named George Thieme. Hoping it ends up I have a remote genetic link to Art, who certainly shared those "light fingers" on the fret board!

Best wishes to Art, his wife, kids and grandkids, and all of you who love him.
