I hope people might plan to attend this event if it involves travelling.Utah is a national (international!) treasure as a champion of the International Workers of the World, (IWW) He is filled with storiesand songs . see www.utahphillips.com for more info...the sub-title of his web site is Utah Phillips:A Short Jog Through A Long Memory he has had a syndicated radio show Loafer's Glory: The Hobo Jungle of the Mind, which is filled with historical information and features a wide variety of musical selections including rare field recordings.
Calling himself The Golden Voice of the Great Southwest, he has served as master of ceremonies at many events, including the Kate Wolf Memorial Festival. He has performed with many other musicians, including Rosalie Sorrells, and a group called Rose Tatoo, some of whom are mud catters...perhaps we will hear more from them??
