Thread Name: U. Utah Phillips Website - The Long Memory
Subject: U. Utah Phillips Web Site

Here you will find information on Utah Phillips, one of the most interesting and creative men I have come across. Described by himself as the Golden Voice of the Great Southwest, he is described by others as a true eclectic, archivist, historian, activist, philosopher, hobo, tramp, member of the IWW, and just about everything in between. Utah's memory contains a wide ranging wealth of lore, which he lets us romp through by way of his shows and recordings. U. Utah Phillips is a nationally known folk artist, singer/story teller, Grammy Award Nominee for his work with Ani Difranco, and hosts his own weekly radio show - Loafer's Glory: The Hobo Jungle of the Mind. He gets out now and then to do a live concert or program, and if he should be appearing in your area, you absolutely have to go see him, as it will be a memorable night.
