N/P If anyone deserves two threads , he certainly did..What a wonderful humanitarian and performer.
You agreed with a post I put in the Pathmark thread about Waldbaums. As strange as it might seem Waldbaums and Theodore Bikel strike a similar chord in my brain. A disappeared era of Jewish-American culture, the last few strands of which are now going away.
Wonderful career, even if he is responsible for the existence of "Edelweiss”, written specifically for him to give the "folk singer" a folk song.
