Subject: Dick Greenhaus 80th Birthday From: Susan of DT Date: 19 Jun 09 - 10:16 PM Dick is 80 years old today. He was just saying that at 60 he started the Digital Tradition, at 70 he bought CAMSCO Music, and at 80 he got into republishing out of print folk books (special announcement very soon as to the first book now reavailable). Sorry this posting is so late in the day. I was on a business trip in Alabama and then took him out to dinner when I got home. |
Subject: RE: Dick Greenhaus 80th Birthday From: wysiwyg Date: 19 Jun 09 - 10:19 PM He's out of PUBERTY!?!?!? Just kidding. It was a very good year-- best vintage. Glad he got uncorked! :~) Happiest birthday, Dick. ~Susan & Greg |

Subject: RE: Dick Greenhaus 80th Birthday From: Bill D Date: 19 Jun 09 - 10:34 PM Why, *I* remember him when he was but a sprout of 50 something! It gives ME hope that I may someday stay up singing as late at the Getaway as Dick does! nawwww...it'll never happen... You're the champ, Dick... Keep on keeping on! (and he's taken up the mandolin lately, too!) |
Subject: RE: Dick Greenhaus 80th Birthday From: Ron Davies Date: 19 Jun 09 - 10:36 PM Happy birthday to a really talented and knowledgeable musician--who always comes up with great songs I haven't heard--and has the distinction of being one of the few people without whom Mudcat wouldn't exist. And of course, through CAMSCO, the source of an unending supply of great music. As well as being a welcome level head on every other topic. |
Subject: RE: Dick Greenhaus 80th Birthday From: Rapparee Date: 19 Jun 09 - 10:39 PM There's a birthday cake for you out here in Idaho...oops, too late, the Library staff ate it. And right on top it said "Happy 15, Dick Greenhaus" -- we found it in an old box in the old part of the building. It was kinda hard, and there were a few moldy bits, but heck, library staffs will eat anything. Hope the dinner was happy, anyway. |
Subject: RE: Dick Greenhaus 80th Birthday From: Charley Noble Date: 19 Jun 09 - 10:43 PM Certainly a well-preserved 80, like a bottle of Port Royal rum! Here's to you! Cheerily, Charley Noble |

Subject: RE: Dick Greenhaus 80th Birthday From: katlaughing Date: 19 Jun 09 - 11:54 PM Does this make you a Venerable One, now?*bg* Happy Birthday and THANK YOU!!! My first search for lyrics for my dad found me the DT at the Mudcat. My dad and I were impressed then and continued to be every time he asked me to find some more old lyrics. Me, I've always been awestruck and proud to be able to point folks to your wonderful creation and I've always taken comfort in knowing if I can't remember the name of one of the old tunes I grew up hearing dad and mom play, I can always call you and you'll tell me and sing it to boot! Thanks, again. Hope you had a great day and the year to follow brings you all that you need and desire. Oh, you cannot possibly be 80...that's like the new 50 or something anyway, isn't it?:-) luvyakat |
Subject: RE: Dick Greenhaus 80th Birthday From: Dan Schatz Date: 20 Jun 09 - 12:11 AM Happy birthday Dick! But seriously - 80?? This isn't just aging well - this NOT AGING. Apparently folk music is good for you after all. Dan |
Subject: RE: Dick Greenhaus 80th Birthday From: Sorcha Date: 20 Jun 09 - 12:11 AM He can't possibly be that old. It's simply NOT allowed!!!!!! Back to 60 Dick! Hope it was a good one.... |
Subject: RE: Dick Greenhaus 80th Birthday From: bseed(charleskratz) Date: 20 Jun 09 - 12:52 AM Some of the people above wished you happy birthday on the 20th of June but I beat them to it, because it's still the 19th here in California. I'm a bit more than three years behind you and I want to grow up to be just like you. Charles (just one among the tousands) |
Subject: RE: Dick Greenhaus 80th Birthday From: Amos Date: 20 Jun 09 - 01:02 AM Good luck with that, Charles. It is not going to be easy, and you only have three years... A shower of blessings and good fortune to you both, Dick; you are a gem among folkies. |
Subject: RE: Dick Greenhaus 80th Birthday From: Sandra in Sydney Date: 20 Jun 09 - 01:13 AM congratulations! where would we be without you - I wish you a great (extended) birthday celebration I've recently passed on Mudcat & the DT to a new aspiring singer - a second generation muso who wants to do more singing. sandra |
Subject: RE: Dick Greenhaus 80th Birthday From: Joe Offer Date: 20 Jun 09 - 01:20 AM Hmmm. 80th birthday? Is that the reason why the Try to Remember thread has been resurrected and is two threads below this on the Forum Menu? Congratulations, Dick! -Joe- |
Subject: RE: Dick Greenhaus 80th Birthday From: georgeward Date: 20 Jun 09 - 01:26 AM Some people in this motley crowd just do what they do, and inspire us more than they ever realize. You are one of 'em, Dick. Happy Birthday!! - George |

Subject: RE: Dick Greenhaus 80th Birthday From: Peace Date: 20 Jun 09 - 02:44 AM I do NOT believe that. I met him two years ago and honestly, he looks like he's in his sixties. Jaysus. Happy Birthday, Dick. |
Subject: RE: Dick Greenhaus 80th Birthday From: CET Date: 20 Jun 09 - 03:14 AM Congratulations to Dick, who has never failed to get me any obscure CD I want, and who shares my taste in songs. Edmund (up at a ridiculous hour to catch the France-NZ test match live on the web) |

Subject: RE: Dick Greenhaus 80th Birthday From: Maryrrf Date: 20 Jun 09 - 09:18 AM Happy Birthday Dick! And might I add, I had no idea how old you were but assumed you were in your sixties. You don't look like an octogenerian. Must be the music that's keeping you young! |

Subject: RE: Dick Greenhaus 80th Birthday From: catspaw49 Date: 20 Jun 09 - 09:59 AM 80 huh? Well "Happy Birthday Dick" pretty much says it all! Four Fifths of the way to the Century mark! Spaw |
Subject: RE: Dick Greenhaus 80th Birthday From: Hollowfox Date: 20 Jun 09 - 10:37 AM Eighty!?! Naw! Happy Birthday! Seriously, it's good to know your age, as it keeps whippersnappers like me from using age as an excuse to be lazy. Y'know, Bob Hope was complaining to a friend about being old, to which George Burns replied, "Go get me a glass of water, junior." Thanks ofr being a good example to us all. |
Subject: RE: Dick Greenhaus 80th Birthday From: gnu Date: 20 Jun 09 - 10:42 AM Many happies! |
Subject: RE: Dick Greenhaus 80th Birthday From: Severn Date: 20 Jun 09 - 10:47 AM To one of the Founders Of Our Feast, I wish you the happiest of birthdays, as well as for the year it commemorates. I'd have never guessed 80. Thanks for supplying me with music I wanted, infallable suggestions for music I didn't know I wanted yet, friendship and the good songs I've heard you sing. |
Subject: RE: Dick Greenhaus 80th Birthday From: RoyH (Burl) Date: 20 Jun 09 - 11:31 AM Hiya Dick, Happy Birthday my friend. Thanks for you good works. Burl |

Subject: RE: Dick Greenhaus 80th Birthday From: dick greenhaus Date: 20 Jun 09 - 12:21 PM Thanks all. I'm forgoing a birthday cake, as that many candles would definitely affect global warming, but I'm celebrating in a different way. I'm re-issuing Bronson's Traditional Tunes of the Child Ballads , at the same price that was charged when it was first published, almost 40 years ago. I'll be posting details and prices very shortly. And now I have another 10 years to think up a nw project. |
Subject: RE: Dick Greenhaus 80th Birthday From: Nancy King Date: 20 Jun 09 - 12:47 PM Woo hoo! You're even older than me! Who'd athunk it? Hope you're birthday was fabulous in every way and that you'll have many more! Nancy |
