Subject: RE: ART THIEME gets LIFETIME Achievement Award!! From: Big Mick Date: 16 Jul 02 - 10:19 AM Congrats, my friend! I am so very proud to know you.

By the way where are the honorary puns to celebrate this achievement? It seems that should be the theime of this thread. After all they will probably give him a plague for infesting folk music with his presents. |
Subject: RE: ART THIEME gets LIFETIME Achievement Award!! From: katlaughing Date: 16 Jul 02 - 11:10 AM Well done, Nice Mason!!! |
Subject: RE: ART THIEME gets LIFETIME Achievement Award!! From: Áine Date: 16 Jul 02 - 01:10 PM Congratulations, Art!! Can't think of another person who deserves it more. And as for becoming legendary -- you're already legendary around here, don't ya know. ;-) All the best, Áine |
Subject: RE: ART THIEME gets LIFETIME Achievement Award!! From: Dharmabum Date: 16 Jul 02 - 01:28 PM Good on ya Art! Well deserved! Your CD's rarely make it back to the rack as there's always one in or near my cd player. Ron. |

Subject: RE: ART THIEME gets LIFETIME Achievement Award!! From: kytrad (Jean Ritchie) Date: 16 Jul 02 - 06:45 PM Art, it's so good to be travelin the world with you, using the same bit of space, breathin the same air (coff, coff). But I'm sure you know you've had unofficial Awards from all of us, over the years...Love, Jean |
Subject: RE: ART THIEME gets LIFETIME Achievement Award!! From: Art Thieme Date: 16 Jul 02 - 06:46 PM Thanks folks--This is a small 1-day festival. Not a huge deal. Very nice o' them to do this. I'll get to see some old friends--Ann Hills, Peter & Lu Berryman (and Berrywoman) Best of all we will hear some grand music. Again, thanks. Art |
Subject: RE: ART THIEME gets LIFETIME Achievement Award!! From: artbrooks Date: 16 Jul 02 - 06:51 PM Congratulations, Mr. Thieme Art |
Subject: RE: ART THIEME gets LIFETIME Achievement Award!! From: Abby Sale Date: 16 Jul 02 - 06:57 PM 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? |
Subject: RE: ART THIEME gets LIFETIME Achievement Award!! From: Celtic Soul Date: 16 Jul 02 - 07:05 PM Wow and double wow. Congrats from here as well. When I grow up, I wanna be Art! |
Subject: RE: ART THIEME gets LIFETIME Achievement Award!! From: SINSULL Date: 16 Jul 02 - 08:02 PM Congratulations, Art. Well deserved and long overdue. |
Subject: RE: ART THIEME gets LIFETIME Achievement Award!! From: JenEllen Date: 16 Jul 02 - 11:19 PM Such good news! Congratulations! I still can't thank you enough for the CD and note. 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 |
Subject: RE: ART THIEME gets LIFETIME Achievement Award!! From: Little Hawk Date: 17 Jul 02 - 03:52 PM Way to go, Art! Funny thing about towns named "Woodstock", they seem to attract music for some reason. Rick - What does come after legendary??? - LH |
Subject: RE: ART THIEME gets LIFETIME Achievement Award!! From: Bill D Date: 17 Jul 02 - 05:38 PM after 'legendary' is 'apocryphal'...*grin*... "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! |

Subject: RE: ART THIEME gets LIFETIME Achievement Award!! From: Fortunato Date: 18 Jul 02 - 09:23 AM Congratulations, Art. I was telling my cousin Kyle about you and your music last night, your years on the riverboat. It's truly gratifying to have the opportunity to congratulate you and to "know" you in this setting. All the best, Chance Shiver |

Subject: RE: ART THIEME gets LIFETIME Achievement Award!! From: Big Mick Date: 22 Jul 02 - 11:31 AM Any reports back yet? I am dying to know how it went. Mick |
Subject: RE: ART THIEME gets LIFETIME Achievement Award!! From: catspaw49 Date: 22 Jul 02 - 11:48 AM Since I just got home and had missed this one, I'll reserve comment til we all hear back from Art........But just in case I get lazy..... FAR OUT!!!! |
Subject: RE: ART THIEME gets LIFETIME Achievement Award!! From: Art Thieme Date: 22 Jul 02 - 04:24 PM 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

Subject: RE: ART THIEME gets LIFETIME Achievement Award!! From: Mrrzy Date: 22 Jul 02 - 04:26 PM A little early, isn't it? |
Subject: RE: ART THIEME gets LIFETIME Achievement Award!! From: catspaw49 Date: 22 Jul 02 - 04:30 PM Sounds great Art!!! 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 |
Subject: RE: ART THIEME gets LIFETIME Achievement Award!! From: Big Mick Date: 22 Jul 02 - 06:08 PM Slide over, Spaw. There is room for both of us on this bandwagon. 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 |
Subject: RE: ART THIEME gets LIFETIME Achievement Award!! From: Art Thieme Date: 23 Jul 02 - 12:21 AM Pat, no, Carol tells me I've said that here at least twice before. ----- But maybe THAT is just day job vu all over again---and then all over again---and yet another time---- Thanks all, Art |
Subject: RE: ART THIEME gets LIFETIME Achievement Award!! From: katlaughing Date: 23 Jul 02 - 12:50 AM Could you repeat that, please? |
Subject: RE: ART THIEME gets LIFETIME Achievement Award!! From: Francy Date: 23 Jul 02 - 01:49 AM All the best my friend.....I am so happy for you.....Oregon and I miss you....Frank of Toledo |
Subject: RE: ART THIEME gets LIFETIME Achievement Award!! From: GUEST,Dan Keding Date: 23 Jul 02 - 04:38 PM There is another thread on the Cat about what is a hero. Look no farther, the answer is Art Thieme. Love ya, Art, Dan Keding |
