I meant to post this sooner, but life as usual has taken over my life:

Mr. Guthrie's sister is giving a lecture at the Library of Congress tomorrow at 1 pm:

"My Father, My Partner," presented by Nora Guthrie.

Nora Guthrie is the daughter of Woody Guthrie and the Director of the Woody Guthrie Archives. For the last twenty years, she has worked with her father's collection to support ongoing research and to create new works from the vast legacy he left behind. In this program, she will recount her early recollections of family life (which include family gatherings and hootenannies with musicians close to the family), Woody's hospitalization with Huntington's Disease, her recognition of her father's growing mythology among artists in the 1960s folk music revival, and the gradual transition of her relationship with Woody into one of professional partnership. Her thoughts on Woody's political, social, and spiritual teachings, and how they come into play in today's world, will be part of the conversation.

I wish I could be there. Thanks Eileen!

It was great. She's got the family storytelling talent. They said that they will post it on the web, though I expect it'll take awhile. But here's a link to their webcast page:

Sounds interesting. Wish I could've gone.
