You people sure are something special!! Thanks so much for your friendship and support. And of course, for your music. I've been busy today with worry about Tom Dundee--and answering the phone and e-mails about this article -- all while looking for any hopeful glimmers in his situation. It's an emotional roller coaster, but that's cool. It's a lot like life. Glorious in all the dynamic complexities. Had a good talk with Utah Phillips today as well.

I do hope you who get this CD find some things there that are to your liking. Charlie Madigan only mentioned my banjo forays into two good old pop tunes---but REALLY folks, there are folk songs on it too!   ;-)

Thanks to Dennis Cook and Sandy and Caroline and Micah Solomon at Oasis CD --- for EVERYTHING !

I put a review about this fine collection of Art's work, Chicago Town and Points West. It occurs to me that I might put it here too. So here goes. Thanks Art for a great bit of Americana! Rex

Chicago Town and Points West

Art has been plying the waters of folk music longer than most of us.
In the course of this musical journey, some of his performances were
captured on tape. I am sure grateful that some folks got with Art and
put some of these gems on a CD. For those of you that know Art Thieme, this is Art at his best, to borrow his comment about one of his songs, warts, roses and all. There are 18 tracks of the songs of the coming up years of this great country. From the steel mills of the Great Lakes, the old South and the wild West. You'll find material here from Leadbelly, Bob Wills, Pete Seeger and Uncle Dave Macon. Art knows a good song when he finds it and how to bring it to life. Some of us understand a song's place in time. Art goes beyond that to a songs _place_. Where it is from. Where it grew up and frolicked in the meadows of its youth. All this from a man that still understands the good to be found in a Martin guitar and a voice as warm and comforting as my wood stove. Get yourself a copy of this CD and have another look at America. Warts, roses and all.

Aye, Rex, thanks so much for the kind words. I am glad you found some parts of the CD to enjoy. It was fun putting it together. And I'm hoping a few Mudcatters have enjoyed it as well.

Roy and Elaine,
No need to wait until November. I'm sending you one even as we speak...

Art, it is my pleasure. Your work is something folks should know about. Thanks for keeping these great songs alive.
Hello Kat, aw I figured the best place to put a review would be where Art's CD would be sold. So a review is on the Waterbug and Folk Legacy websites. They turned out a far sight neater than they did on this thread! I'm still having to learn to navigate this forum.
