Words that last

Just heard the news on NPR of the death of folklorist, labor activist and storyteller, Archie Green. Here’s a quote from Torching the Fink Books and Other Essays on Vernacular Culture:

“The peasant fiddler is as worthy as the symphony violinist; the village cobbler more precious than a pair of boots.”

Thanks for reminding us Archie.
