From our press release: ================ This Sunday, July 14, marks the 90th anniversary of the birth of Woody Guthrie.

WFDU-FM will celebrate the music, life and legacy of Woody Guthrie on a special edition of TRADITIONS. From 3 to 6pm Eastern Time Bill Hahn will be sharing the music of Woody Guthrie through the original recordings as well as selections from the hundreds (or is it thousands) of artists who have recorded Guthrie's songs.

In addition, Ron Olesko will present archival recordings from interviews with the late Marjorie Guthrie and Moses Asch. Marjorie, the widow of Woody Guthrie, founded the Committe to Combat Huntington's Disease as well as the Woody Guthrie Foundation. The interview with Marjorie Guthrie was originally broadcast in 1977, a precursor to the TRADITIONS program. Ron interviewed Moses Asch, the founder of Folkways Records, in 1980. Asch recalls recording Guthrie and his songs, including "This Land Is Your Land". Asch talks about how the song spread to become the an anthem.

In the NYC area you can listen to WFDU via 89.1 FM, or you can listen in on the Internet at www.wfdu.fm.

TRADITIONS can be heard every Sunday afternoon from 3 to 6pm on WFDU-FM, the global voice of Fairleigh Dickinson University. ------
