Sad News in Milwaukee

Our good friend Dick "Nitelinger" Golembiewski died of a heart attack while
shoveling snow at his parents' house on Sunday. This is a real loss for all
of us who have enjoyed Dick's friendship over the years. He was a friend to
every Milwaukee area folk and acoustic musician, and his Folk City radio
show on WMSE in the 80s and early 90s plus his long tenure as a volunteer at
The Coffee House showed his dedication to local music. Dick routinely
played recordings by local folk musicians on his show, and frequently
invited us into the studio for live on-air performances. We are all stunned
by the unexpectedness of this loss. Dick was only 51, and had no history of
heart trouble.

This weekend we will all be singing our songs in his memory.
