After Peter Seeger, Theordore Bikel was my favourite folksinger. The above almost hour-long video was dedicated to a celebration of his life. Here is Mark Steyn discussing some of the most important parts of his career. This is how Flower Power: Theodore Bikel, 1924-2015 begins:
Theodore Bikel died on Tuesday at the age of 91. He began his career in Mandatory Palestine in the play Tevye the Milkman and then, between 1969 and 2010, played Tevye in the musical Fiddler On The Roof in over 2,000 performances, more than any other actor. He worked steadily in theatre, TV and movies for three-quarters of a century, and was also a folk singer, and songwriter, and guitarist.
The whole thing is amazing, as is everything else that Mark writes. Vale Theodore Bikel.
