Theme: Remembering Happy Traum (1938-2024).

Happy Traum – born Harry Peter Traum but known all his life as Happy – died on July 17 of cancer at age 86. 

Happy was a great guitarist, folksinger and songwriter known both for his solo work and for his partnership with his younger brother, the late Artie Traum. He was an important figure in the folk revival, from the early-1960s until his passing, as a performer, as editor for three years of Sing Out magazine, as a catalyst for many projects, and as a teacher. Homespun Music, the company run by Happy and Jane Traum, offers lessons in guitar and many other instruments in many styles taught by Happy and by many other great musicians.
