I looked around at the news and message boards on his site and didn't see anything, but of course, sometimes things don't get posted to websites right away.

It had all of his concert schedules up to date and all, so I hope whatever you heard is inaccurate.

Also, for anyone near NYC, I did come across this for Woody's birthday:

Come to our WOODY GUTHRIE BIRTHDAY BASH ROUND ROBIN SONGFEST...

Sunday, July 15, 2001
7:00 to 9:00 PM
CB's 313 Gallery
313 Bowery
New York City

Featuring:
Jessica Feinbloom
Richard Fried
Joel Landy
Erica MacKenzie Smith
Carlos Rosello
Steve Suffet

Also: special guest artists.

$5 cover lets you stay all night and hear other acts as well. Yes, this is a nightclub and not a church basement, so you will have to buy drinks. And yes, the celebration is one day late. Woody was born in Okemah, Oklahoma, on July 14, 1912.

For info or directions: (212) 677-0455.
