Many thanks, Fred, for seeing about the Woody Guthrie folk club. I know that that place is on the Guthrie family's radar, because Nora Guthrie's husband, Michael Kleff (a German writer and editor on folk music) contacted me to ask about it!) So if Alun Parry is interested, he can contact me at wkaufman@uclan.ac.uk . Thanks again for your intervention.

And Kat, many thanks for your congrats and wishes for success. I was actually out in Colorado to do some research for the Woody book. There's a fellow out there named Barry Ollman, in Denver, who has a wonderful collection of Woody's letters, manuscripts etc - as well as some of his paintings. You can check him out at www.barryollman.com .

Art, yes - Judy McCullough has left a fine legacy at the Univ. of Illinois Press. The current music editor is Laurie Matheson - a fine editor to work with. I'm really impressed with the care they've all taken with this book.

Bye for now,

Will
