    Gabriel's Mother's Highway Ballad #16 Blues?

    I don't have a fave, tho Telephone is a good one today (hate Fridays at work).
    Darkest Hour is probably the longest term "fave" and Oh Mom is probably my son's ;)
    Or Victor Jara. Or, When a Soldier Makes it Home.....

    that would be Feel Like I'm Fixin' to Die Rag (he's from near Sallisaw) -Joe McDonald
    I'm as tired of Alice as Arlo is, although I was there the night he broke it our of retirement and added the Chip Carter rap.
    Rather see the film.

    It is so incredibly worth it to go see these people who GET Woody and the traveling troubador tradition.
    http://www.woodyguthrie.com/main2.htm

    the last day of 2000's fest I made it out (new on the job and the first huge gas spike kept me from spending my nights in picks and days in work) and got to see Pete Seeger for the first time (a long time must see for me..I grew up on folk, but he righfully didn't care to be at southern fests in the summer) which was a blast but my icing was Ellis Paul, Don Conoscenti and Jimmy LaFave onstage together. they gave me chills. Love 'em all individually, but had NO idea they could blend so well..

    Okemah is closer to Tulsa than the City in Creek Nation on I-40. You can't miss it: three water towers with at least one reading "Home of Woody Guthrie" in cowboy lettering.
    Of course half the town still hates him as a commie (he never was a paid party member: only supported the unionizing activity. Okla is a right to work -right to starve state today)

    THis is a fest that only sounds so interesting but magic takes place there.
    For free.

    Yeah Woody's not very liked out here,,,by a lot of people,,,I found that surprising when i moved here,,,,You figure one of the greatest folk singers ever would be much more appreciated,,, its sad really,,,You are soooo lucky you got to see pete seeger,,,I dont make it out to too many concerts lately,,Saw Dylan when he swung through three times,,once with Willie Nelson and his family,,,, And anyone that says he s not good live is crazy,,,that was a hell of a show,,,,If Im not on the road when arlo comes,,Im gonna see him,,thanx for the info!!!!!!!!!!

    I really like Alice, I'm sorry.

    But, I guess I am rather fond of Coming Into L.A. too!

    Sorry, I saw Dylan several times and he's not much of a live performer, to me. But, I'm spoiled to the "tell you every story I ever learned and a few I made up driving here" kinds of singer-songwriters.
    Where in Okla are ya?

    If you Like New Orleans, look up the author, Steve Goodman. He died in the 80s but left a hell of a legacy.
