Goodbye, Artie.
Back in another lifetime I would load a U-Haul truck with bluegrass and folk albums and drive to Winfield, Kansas, as the representative of the on-site music vendor at the annual Walnut Valley Festival. In that pre-internet era, it represented a rare chance for fans to purchase specialty music. I recall this now because Artie Traum died Sunday. He and his brother Happy sold guitars a few feet from my booth. Rubbing elbows with the noted folk musicians was one the first times I felt like I'd finally arrived. "In Paris," a wry song from 2002's South of Lafayette.

Slipknot was great last night. Seriously. Here's my review. I'm not a fan of Richard Cheese, but I suddenly find this parody hilarious.
