- Most record collectors don't go in search of the artists they love -- but Chris Strachwitz did. He tracked down Lightnin' Hopkins in a Houston dive and that was the beginning of his adventures.
This story is from No Mouse Music! The Legacy of Arhoolie Records (working title) a film by Chris Simon & Maureen Gosling to be released in 2013
A real HAPPY 91th Birthday to Mr. Christian Alexander Strachwitz and really ALL the best to him (2022-0701) and helluva THANKS for all the great music on his Arhoolie label ...
RIP Chris Strachwitz. You may not have had the talent of some of the musical giants you recorded, but without those recordings we would never have heard them. 10 May, 2023
