Art has a robust collection of recordings - he donated his material to the Smithsonian and worked for many hours to transfer his cassette tapes to CD for them. Various members of the Mudcat family were able to participate in sponsoring that work by contributing a computer, software, and lots of disks. One of Mudcat's finer moments!

Making a cd isn't all that permanent - I went through my collection recently when the weather was bad and I was feeling ill - and a significant number would not play.

They tarnish, I think.

I got the impression that though far from well, he wasn't facing the end just yet. getting his song down must have been affirming, and probably demonstrating a fighting spirit. but should he lose this fight it will be treasured by his loved ones.
