I'll be watching, and hoping for the best.

It's a pity that so many people who knew Guthrie have passed on without being interviewed.

And now that I actually look at the site, I find that Ed Cray is the author of the essay on the first page. :-)

Don't miss the "Additional Footage" page, especially if, like me, you might not get to see the show. Interviewees include:
Bruce Springsteen
Nora Guthrie (daughter)
Joe Klein (biographer)
Ed Cray (biographer)
Jeff Place (Archivist, Ralph Rinzler Folklife Archive & Collection)
Pete Seeger
Bess Lomax Hawes

The PBS "American Masters" web site on the show is here.

On Ballad-L, Ed Cray, author of the recent biography of Guthrie (and source of the tip to the link above), says he saw a rough cut of the show and he felt it "truly captured Woody".

There are a number of projects happening about Woody in addition to this documentary.   The borough of Brooklyn has proclaimed "Woody Guthrie Day on July 25th, and the Brooklyn Cyclones have invited Nora Guthrie and the Klezmatics to appear at Keyspan Park.   The Klezmatics are also releasing their new CD "Wonder Wheel" that day, their second CD based on the music of Woody Guthrie, most of which has not been published or set to music before.

I also added some information on my website - ronolesko.blogspot.com with links to a variety of sites as well as a story about Woody and Marjorie, and the reason I am still hosting a radio show to this day.

Oh yeah- thank you for the heads-up, Dharmabum. I'm firing up the TIVO right now.
