Talk:Pete Sutherland

DYK?
@Thriley, any thoughts on potential DYK facts while this is still fresh? Thanks for creating the draft! &#123;{u&#124; Sdkb  }&#125;  talk 07:37, 25 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Thank you! I'll take a look right now. Thriley (talk) 17:25, 25 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Maybe something about this? "When Scanlon graduated from high school, Pete had the "brilliant idea" to hit the road, Scanlon said. In fall 2014, with bandmate Tristan Henderson, Pete's Posse piled into a 2002 Buick LeSabre for a 12,000-mile, two-and-a-half-month tour.": Seven Days. Thriley (talk) 17:33, 25 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Or "did you know Pete Sutherland was arguably the dean of traditional music in Vermont? : Times Argus. Thriley (talk) 17:35, 25 February 2023 (UTC)
 * First one seems a little more unusual, in that it doesn't fall into the "well, someone had to be X thing, and why should I care that it was this particular person" trap. I'm not quite sure how to distill it into something short enough for a hook, though.
 * I also notice this passage in the Seven Days profile:
 * Pete kept a big garden and loved eating from it. "He seldom took care to wash the dirt off his lettuce," Calum said. Pete foraged for fiddlehead ferns and hen of the woods mushrooms and sautéed them in butter. He made mushroom-barley soup that tasted so good, Calum said, it's tough to re-create. He valued "simple pleasures," Calum said. "Simple, do-it-yourself pleasures."
 * Maybe there's something there? &#123;{u&#124; Sdkb  }&#125;  talk 23:11, 25 February 2023 (UTC)
 * WAIT...scratch all that! I found the 2000 profile alluded to in the Burlington Free Press obit, and it contains this gem: Did you know ... That the "dean of Vermont traditional music," Pete Sutherland, hosted concerts at his house for $10 — or $9 if you brought your own chair? &#123;{u&#124; Sdkb  }&#125;  talk 23:20, 25 February 2023 (UTC)

That’s perfect!! Thriley (talk) 15:42, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

Did not die of cancer
When someone is euthanized, that is what thry die of. They did not die of their sickness,but from being euthanized.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:34, 19 December 2023 (UTC)


 * My view is that the category should be present because he was dying of cancer when he chose euthanasia. We include those who died of complications of cancer all the time in these categories and this is equivalent. &#123;{u&#124; Sdkb  }&#125;  talk 15:26, 19 December 2023 (UTC)
