Thread Name: 'Woody Guthrie: A Life' - 1999 Biography by Klein
Subject: RE: Woody Guthrie Biography
Dani, I was working for the Retail Clerks Union in Berserkely walking an informational picket line at a shoe store(for minimum wage). I was singing UNION MAID one fine sunny California afternoon, when across the Telegraph Ave. I spy what looks to be Woody! Hat tipped back, mandolin under his arm, curly hair, the whole nine yards. Of course it was Joady(who I knew from NYC). But it almost stopped my heart beating, lemme tell ya!
