(From Delaware Press Association's February newsletter) 'Known as Delaware’s troubadour, Crabmeat Thompson, has won a 2010 fellowship as an established professional from the Delaware Division of the Arts. He sings, plays guitar, has written the unofficial Delaware State Song and has made several CDs of his original music. Over the years, he’s kept toes tapping and audiences entertained in libraries, coffeehouses, bars and restaurants throughout Delaware and nearby states. He mixes blues ballads and Irish folk tunes with his own clever lyrics in crowd pleasers such as “Bigfoot’s Baby,” “The Night of the Vegetables,” and “Poodles from Hell.” Professor Crab also writes poetry and will be a featured poet, along with Tom Lillard, at 1 p.m., Sunday, February 28, at the Gilbert Perry Arts Center in Middletown . Featured poets spend part of their time "teaching" or offering insight into some aspect of poetry from musicality to metaphor to structure to "The Influence of the Guitar on Poetry." The reading will be followed by an open mic.'
