Summary: Where is he now and what's happening?

The base posting mentioned that Theodore Bikel would be at this festival.
This surprised me. I hadn't heard anything of him in a decade or more,
and sort of figured that he was dead... Glad to hear that he isn't!

Anyway, I was a great fan of his and bought all his records back in the 
old mono days. He came out with a rather strange one, with a different 
sound or style, called "A New Day", which was the last record of his I
ever saw or bought. 

Can anyone give a brief synopsis of what has happened to Mr. Bikel since, say,
1970 or thereabouts? He had what I thought was a rather successful concert,
recording, and acting career, and then seemed to vanish. Maybe I was
just looking in the wrong places... 

Regards,
Will Martin
