Strange---I was just e-mailing back and forth with Tom about the time he spent working in a duo with Woody Guthrie. Ed Cray talks about that in his new very fine biography of Woody. (Better than Joe Klein's---but maybe just different.) I thought it was fascinating and also just plain cool as all hell that they worked together. Tom pretty much said it was a unique time. I think I'll ask him if he minds if I post his answer to my query. That'd warrant a new thread if it's o.k. with him.
