Thread Name: Woody's Last Sessons. Are they available
Subject: Woody's Last Sessons. Are they available
Hi. Moe Asch recorded Woody Guthrie during performances of "Folksay" in New York in 1954. Does anyone know if these recordings were ever released? I know they are supposed to be pretty awful because of the progress of Woody's Huntington's Chorea, but I would really like to hear them.

He apparently made some further recordings on his own that year (on a wire recorder)with Sonny Terry. Any chance that these are available?

Pretty obscure info, I guess. I was going to ask Joe Hickerson, but thought there may be someone here who's got the poop.

Thanks

Rick
