“Crabmeat has a wide repertoire of songs, ranging from comments on the environment
to political topics to material based on his travels or his career as a college
teacher, all done with his trademark sense of humor. In addition, his
musicianship on guitar, voice, and other instruments is superb and he
always develops a rapport with any audience. Crabmeat Thompson is an
excellent performer!”
