Subject: RE: Life of Burl Ives
Charley, if it's the photo I'm thinking of, it's in Joe Klein's biography in the first section of photos; it was from around 1940 (IIRC) and had them lounging on the ground, with Woody holding a copy of "Hobo News."
And yet, in the book Woody Guthrie Songs, edited by Judy Bell and Nora Guthrie, the photo turns up on p.4 but with Burl Ives cropped out of the picture, the image reversed (Woody certainly did not play a left-handed guitar!) and the "newspaper" PhotoShopped so the printing on it now looks "correct."
