Your Government in Action: Smithsonian buys Arhoolie Records

Recommended Posts

Smithsonian/Folkways bought Chris Strachwitz's Arhoolie Records.  I personally think this is great, and means that all those amazing Arhoolie albums will still be avail in some form after Strachwitz shuffles off (he's in his '80s).  This is great approbation for a life's work preserving our musical heritage, well-deserved.  They ought to give Chris Strachwitz one of those Presidential medal things for all he's done.
