Nora's News
Two very good men have gone. Utah Phillips and Dave Gahr, both close to the Guthrie family and musical tribe, passed away within a few days of each other. We send our love to their families, knowing that the genius of both men will be around for a long, long time. Woody is gathering us together for the chorus, so start singing, twice through
"this world was lucky to see him born"
(from Woody's song, Dear Mrs. Roosevelt).

More than a simple ribbon of asphalt used by vehicles to reach their destination, the road
becomes the subject matter of dreams and nightmares; a trucker, a hobo, a roadie touring with a band,
or a passionate biker. A special selection includes original lyrics and writings dedicated to Woody
Guthrie.
