This week's edition of Folk Roots/Folk Branches (Thursday January 4, 2001) will be A WOODY GUTHRIE SPECIAL.

In the first part of the show, we'll be listening to classic Woody Guthrie songs, performed by Woody and lots of other artists.

The second part of the show will be an extended conversation with NORA GUTHRIE, Woody's daughter and executive director of the Woody Guthrie Archives and Foundation.

The third part of the show will be devoted to contemporary settings of Woody Guthrie lyrics that have been discovered in the archives in recent years.

Folk Roots/Folk Branches will be heard from 9:00-noon (Eastern time) this Thursday on CKUT, 90.3 FM in Montreal, or in RealAudio on the web. The RealAudio feed is available at the Folk Roots/Folk Branches website.
