2 good things easily missed

1) in depth interview with Ralph in Guitarist mag this month.

2) On a channel called Controversial TV - a programme very late last night called Democracy now. An interview with Woody's latest biographer - contributions from Pete Seeger Billy Bragg.

The biographer sound like an American. His name is Kaufman and he a professor at Lancashire University, en Angleterre no less. A very capable folkie, I would judge from tyhe cut of his gib. Do Fylde Festival people , like Alan and Pete Skinner know of his presence - he seems to me like a valuable local resource.

I believe the programme was initially shown in the States on Woody's birthday in July. So maybe, our American friends know a lot more about it than we do.
