The 50th Anniversary of Folk Arts Rare Records will take place during the summer of 2017. It’s never too early to plan for major events like this. As of now, ambitions are high. Maybe everything won’t happen, but as the new owner, I am hoping to host a major live music event, hopefully get a short documentary film made about Lou Curtiss’ many experiences, as well as release a vinyl record in commemoration of the event. The Double (or Triple) LP will be fully curated by Lou Curtiss himself. I have encouraged him to indulge himself and choose whichever recordings he would like to include out of his vast Lou Curtiss Sound Library archives. Needless to say, this will not be an easy task, but it will certainly be a wonderful final product. Other Anniversary plans will likely be in the works.
