And the question is, are you now or have you ever been a human being? What is the score in YOUR ball game? (I know, I know, 2:0, but still.)

Love to you!

Good idea Maggie! I think as a special treat for Art's birthday I'll refresh it since I know it makes him proud everytime it appears.

I hope that this birthday turns out even better than the one I wished you in ought-six upscroll, if possible or at least as good. While I always wish you the best, it seems by wishing you the best yearly seems to up the bar for best each year, so I'm wishing you the high standard that is the status quo and more if possible.

Even better wishes to you, then!

Now ain't this a damn shame?

We got us all these completely horseshit threads starting around here everyday and yet we're too friggin' cheap to give Art a new birthday thread.......and kat calls ME the "evil twin"...........I guess its not her fault though................

Ya' know I blame this entirely on Joe Offer and his bad attitude towards anything just for fun. Oh he says he's a fun guy and all but he's a few whoopee cushions shy of chuckle.........

Well Art, Happy Birthday again anyway............

Art- has anyone in this thread (I'm in a hurry) sent this:

    Why was he born so beautiful? Why was he born at all?
    He's no bloody use to anyone, he's no bloody use at all!
(Our Brit Mudcatters will know that one- it's set to a beautiful hymn tune, perfect with full harmonies).

OR: Happy birthday to you- you belong in a zoo,
    You look like a monkey- and you act line one, too!
(And kids everywhere will know that one..there must be many of these).

Hope your birthday was your best yet, dear Art- and that's a sincere one, with a hug thrown in. Love to you and all those you love, Jean

Well, that's not the first old film I never heard of, but Micca, if I had heard of it, I do hope I might've gotten the punny joke. All's well that ends well...

Kat, I graduated high school in 1959. I'd just heard Bob Gibson and Lord Buckley and Pete Seeger and the New Lost City Ramblers and Odetta and Joan Baez for the first time. And I'd just learned how truly transporting and time-machine-like the old trad story ballads could be. I was eighteen---and in love. It was a very good year!--- A whole lot like this 65th year will be, I'm certain;---filled with Mudcatters and their music, and all the sounds I've stored in my mind since those other times.

Thanks to all you cyberfolk here who keep my mind nimble and participating in our music world. You are truly appreciated.

Sincerely,

Art

Yes, Kat, Spot on, It was a (laboured) attempt at a n elaborate pun, especially for the Ace Punster, I was sure he would remember the piece it was in the hit parade in the early 60s?

I think Micca meant it as a mondegreen(sp), Art, as in "Our Theme" (from the movie) "Summer Place." Am I right, Micca?

In his younger days Art bought a small cabin in the Appalachians to spend some "chill out" time in the summers when not on tour. It was near a small village that had a coupla hundred inhabitants where village life revolved around the Store. The cabin was a few hundred yards from the road along a very rough track. The Postal Service
insisted that the mail box had a house name on it as there were no house numbers on that road, well none that would have made sense anyway. Being his whimsical self, Art called his Cabin what it was, a Summer Place . One year he was in the store and a coupla locals he hadn't seen before came in and were looking at him a bit funny, as rural folks usually look at strangers, after he left they asked the storekeeper "who was that guy?" and the storekeepers reply was












" That was Art Thieme from a Summer Place"
