Thread Name: Hobo set at NOMAD
Subject: RE: Hobo set at NOMAD
Wish I could be there with you two. I had a slew of those songs at one time. LUTHER THE JET (his hobo name---real name Luther Gette) is someone you all ought to have at your festivals. He has a fine new CD out of his Hobo songs that he wrote from his personal experiences.

I forgot to mention, Luther is the current and former Hobo King. He was elected to that high honor at the big hobo gathering in Britt, Iowa.

He also has a PHD in French Literature. Sings unaccompanied. Works a bunch as part of THE ROSE TATTOO --- a sometime music group who does hobo and I.W.W. songs. They are: Bruce U. Utah Phillips, Mudcatter Mark Ross, Larry Penn, Banjo Fred Starner, Rik Palieri and somne others...
