“THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND…”
“DUST BOWL TROUBADOUR”
Friends and neighbors,
You may be interested in the current show at Berkeley’s Freight & Salvage about Wood Guthrie.
“Wood Guthrie’s American Song” is based on the life and music of this most famous folk singer.
The show runs through Sun July 22. For more details visit www.freightandsalvage.org
Fred & I saw the award-wining show in a packed crowd last Saturday – Guthrie’s 100th Birthday. There was even a birthday cake. The show is outstanding…talk about the 99%. The music of course is wonderful. When the cast sang “This Land is Your Land…” the audience joined in with gusto.
