Thread Name: Woody at 100 - born in 1912, died 1967
Subject: RE: Woody at 100
The book that Jimmy Longhi wrote, WOODY, CISCO, AND ME is the best book written about Woody. It describes the 3's adventures aboard ship in the Merchant Marine during World War 2. It is the best description of folk music in action, and the best up close view of how the seminal folksinger of the 20th Century approached his people, and his craft. The story of Woody integrating the ships' concert is priceless. I recommend it highly.
