October 31st is not only Halloween but it is also Folk-Legacy's 38th birthday!

Just want to be the first on the 'Cat to wish Folk-Legacy a very, HAPPY BIRTHDAY and give 'Catters a chance to do the same.
Much love, for so many years of great music and friendship

How appropriate for Samhain to be the date of their founding! It is also my Roger's birthday. Thanks, Karen, for starting this thread.

Sandy and Caroline, Happy Birthday to you and everyone else who helped birth Folk Legacy. That is just awesome! I hope you all have a wonderful day and here's to a great year!

Seems like I've known you forever and it's been less than a year. Thanks for letting me into your *circle*.

I've often wondered what my life would be like if I had never met Sandy and Caroline. But, I dont really want to know. Words are not enough to say the thanks I feel for you two. Talk about making a difference!!You should be insufferably proud. By the way, it's also Gordon Bok's birthday..

When I was introduced to folk music 14/15 years ago, it was through Folk Legacy recordings. As if that wasn't good enough, it's been really delightful getting to know Sandy & Caroline in person in the last year or so. Long may you wave!

with love,

Barbara

Considering how many words I use around here, I cannot find the ones to say how important you are to folk, to the Mudcat, to your old and new friends here, or to me. Simply Happy Birthday Folk-Legacy, and many thanks to both of you for what you have done.

Thanks to all of you. On the actual day, Caroline and I will be joining Becca and Jenny, plus other members of the Golden Ring and the New Golden Ring (Ed Trickett, Joe Hickerson, Howie Mitchell, et al) to sing our love and farewell to Gerry Armstrong in Chicago. George and Gerry used to call us every October 31st, and, with George's bagpipes playing in the background, wish Folk-Legacy a happy birthday. It was a thoughtful and deeply appreciated tradition.

Thank you, Karen. And thanks again to all the rest of you.

Dear Sandy and Caroline --
You and Folk Legacy changed my life back in '71 when we first met. My love and appreciation of you and of the wonderful music you've brought to all of us have only increased with the passing years. Much love, and many thanks for everything.

As a young immigrant, I had my first real jobs at the 1964-65 World's Fair in New York. By day, I was a beefeater at the Tower of London exhibit guarding rhinestone copies of the Queen's baubles. At night, I was a janitor at the Swedish Pavillion. It is true, I saw both sides of life everday.

I made an incredible amount of money for the time and invested a significant portion of it in those sternly black covered lps of Paddy Tunney, Harry Cox and Lawrence Older... just to mention a few.

I loved those old records and, although we're separated by miles with no turntable at their repository, I still grab a few every now and then and bring them home for a spin.

I'm happy and honored to have had my name join those names in your catalogue but I'm happiest of all to have known you these many years. Sandy, Caroline, Lee and Rob... Congratulations and may you have 38 more and 38 more again!

All the best,
Dan Milner

I first became aware of Folk Legacy when I ordered a tape by Bok, Muir & Trickett (who I had never heard, I took a chance after seeing a reference in Rise Up Singing).. I liked the tape so much that I immediately ordered 3 more, and when those arrived..... I now have many Folk Legacy recordings, and also fond memories of meeting Sandy and Caroline at The Woods Music & Dance Camp.

Happy Birthday and keep 'em coming, and may you have many more successful years. I like your style.

Davey... (:>)

FOLK LAGACY THE LEGACY...... My all time favorite albums happen to be Folk Lagacy productions. Jim Ringer's Hard Times and Jon Wilcox. Happy Birthday to the legendary legacy.
If memory serves me, (hopefully) Didn't Sandy and Caroline thumb their way accross this great country to the Northeast to start this little record company? Sandy, you could share that story and set the record straight for us curious minded sorts.

Aye---Me too! I just found this thread. CONGRATULATIONS to you all----Sandy, Caroline, David and Robin Paton & Lee Haggerty too--for sure. You folks are the best---but you knew already that I fealt that way. I've never been more honored in my entire life than when you (Sandy) asked me to be a part of your grand doings. It was exhilerating to record those 2 LPs way back when. Even better was having you become such good friends. Here's to the next 38 years.

Love,

Art & Carol Thieme

Sandy, Caroline, Lee and Folk Legacy Folks - Bravo Zulu (Well done) followed closely by an Alpha Delta 28 (Splice the Main Brace).

The world's a better, wetter place for all the many labors of love you've done for the preservation and enjoyment of the world's heritage of sea and water music. There would be gaping voids were it not for you. Some of those voids would be in my very soul.

And all the other stuff ain't that bad neither.

Happy celebration of our legacy through your efforts. It is a joy to know you, hear you and watch you. My folk music collection is in good part Folk Legacy based. I like knowing what you have done and knowing that you are of that long line of people who care about preserving the old songs and do something to help pass them along.

love from as far back as "the days of Adam and Eve",
