Subject: RE: Woody Rediscovered in Poughkeepsie NY
I remember Bob Dylan talking about seeing all of the songs that Guthrie wrote. He mentioned it in his own autobiography, and it was when the songs were stored at the family home in Long Island or someplace like that where the family lived while he was in an institution.

I see your link to the Guthrie Archives. Did they set this up themselves, or are they working in conjunction with a university with special collections? I see the archive finding aids. It would be nice if they had a first line along with the name of the song on each.

Good work, though, and it sounds like an interesting concert. It must be wonderful to poke through all of those songs, looking for the next ones to bring to light of day after decades hidden away.
