WHAT? That was hardly a eulogy! Only a comment on the obvious.

Dear Art,
I'm very late to this lengthy and worrisome discussion, but wanted to add my voice to the chorus of well-wishers who are pulling for you.

You should know that I woke up thinking about you this morning. My alarm was set to NPR, and the very first thing I heard was a story about 1,600 turtles being released from a Georgia turtle farm (vandals broke the fences) and making the great escape to nearby waterways. The idea of 1,600 turtles making a cross-country getaway was quite a picture--and it put me in mind of your wonderful Great Turtle Drive story. Thanks for that--and so much else.

Sending lots of love,
Kathy Westra

And here's a link to the turtle story: turtle story

You can read Art's version here:
THE GREAT TURTLE DRIVE (as adapted and told by Art Thieme -- after Jack Thorp)
and you can listen to Art telling it here:
The Great Turtle Drive (tall tale) [scroll down to "Subject: A little more vintage Art Thieme"]

That's not the link I meant to use -- this more recent post is perhaps more definitive:
THE GREAT TURTLE DRIVE (as adapted and told by Art Thieme -- after Jack Thorp)

Trying to figure when would be good all round...10p Mudcat time would be middle of the night in the UK and not sure what day in Australia.:-) Anyone else? Better time?

Just a thought: how about picking a date (possibly midweek when people are more likely to be home in the evening than on weekends) and making it around 8 or 9 PM in your own time zone? That would mean almost continuous bursts of Mojo around the world. Would that be as good as one simultaneous blast?

That's a great idea, CL...it would be continuous for what, 24 hours, as it works its away round the world?

Yes, Kat, 24-hours of constant blasts as the earth travels around the sun. Also, If the chosen time is inconvenient for some people, they can add their Mojo at the start of whatever hour works best for them, supplementing those in other time zones. People could even do it more than once, not feeling the "right" time has passed or that it is too early.

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.
