Subject: Folklore: Good on you, Art Thieme!
Found this little tidbit in Sing Out the other day.
"Art Thieme was honored at this past summer's Woodstock Folkfestival as the recipient of its first Lifetime Achievement Award. The "King of the 9-String Guitar," Art was a staple on the folk scene for nearly four decades and a regular performer at the festival. From traditional folk songs and cowboy songs to humorous stories and dreadful puns, Art was a fantastic performer and important part of the folk music community. Congrats, Art."
