#woodyguthrie is a one of a kind person in American history and American music. Lefty/commie, friend of the working man, hobo/traveler, musician, lyricist, poet, joker, patriot and all around good guy. I was inspired to visit an exhibit about Woody in an NYU gallery on Jay Street in Brooklyn after hearing the great
@laurarcantrell talk about it on
@wfmu on Saturday. Lots of great info, drawings, posters, lyrics, stories, writings and even a spot where you could pick up a guitar and plunk out a tune. I think it was all on loan from the
@woodyguthriecenter in Tulsa (that's well known and well trod by my Oklahoma pal,
@docfo ). One thing I learned, but should have known, is that Woody lived in NYC for 27 years!!!!!! Go see the show if you can! And don't forget The Underbites show this Saturday, 4/25 at
@berlin.undernyc - some advance tix are still available!!!
