    American Music Review The H. Wiley Hitchcock Institute for Studies in American Music Conservatory of Music, Brooklyn College of the City University of New York Volume XLII, Number 1 Fall 2012 Woody Guthrie and Bob Dylan Hit Manhattan By Sean Wilentz, Princeton University Editors Note: This paper was delivered as the keynote address for the Woody Guthrie Centennial Conference held at Brooklyn College on 22 September, 2012. On February 16, 1940, a freezing blizzardy day, Woody Guthrie—short, intense, and aged twenty-seven—ended a long hitchhiking journey East and debarked in Manhattan, where he would quickly make a name for himself as a per- former and recording artist. Nearly twenty-one years later, on or about January 24, 1961, a cold and post-blizzardy day, Bob Dylan—short, intense, and aged nineteen—ended a briefer auto journey East and debarked in Manhattan, where he would quickly make a name for himself as a performer and recording artist—not as quickly as Guthrie had, but quickly. Dylan had turned himself into what he later described as “a Woody Guthrie jukebox,” and had come to New York in search of his idol. Guthrie had come to look up his friends the actors Will Geer and Herta Ware, who had introduced him to influential left-wing political and artistic circles out in Los Angeles and would do the same in Manhattan. Two different stories, obviously, of two very different young men a generation apart—yet, more than he might have realized, Dylan partly replayed his hero’s entrance to the city where both men would become legends.

  • Woody Guthrie Woody’S Daughter, Nora Guthrie, Recounts the Story of a Self-Educated Artist, Musician and Writer
    Woody Guthrie Woody’s daughter, Nora Guthrie, recounts the story of a self-educated artist, musician and writer. Chapter 1 — 1:20 Introduction Announcer: One of Oklahoma’s most creative native sons is Woodrow Wilson “Woody” Guthrie. Born in Okemah, Oklahoma July 14th, 1912, he became an American singer, songwriter and folk musician. He wrote more than 1,000 songs. This Land Is Your Land is his best-known song. He was also a writer of numerous essays, articles, poems and hundreds of letters. He also wrote two autobiographical novels. Many of his songs are about his experiences in the Dust Bowl era, earning him the nickname the Dust Bowl Troubadour. He traveled with migrant workers from Oklahoma to California and learned traditional folk and blues songs. Oklahoma’s state fold song is Oklahoma Hills, written by Woody Guthrie. Many books and papers have been written about Woody Guthrie’s life, but now you will be given a view of Woody Guthrie through the eyes of his daughter Nora as she talks about her famous father. We would like to thank our Founding Sponsors for making this oral history story available on VoicesofOklahoma.com. Chapter 2 — 3:46 Huntington’s Disease John Erling: My name is John Erling and today’s date is October 7th, 2010. Nora Guthrie: My name is Nora Guthrie. My birthday is January 2, 1950.

  • 3. Allen, Holy Ground
    Woody Guthrie Annual, 1 (2015): Allen, “Holy Ground” Holy Ground: The Klezmatics Channel Woody Guthrie1 ! !Ray Allen ! When Lorin Sklamberg sang “Come When I Call You” at the Brooklyn College Guthrie Centennial Conference the audience sat spellbound. The lyrics, Woody Guthrie’s 1949 reflections on the ravages of war, were set to a haunting modal melody composed by Skalmberg. As the song ended and the audience erupted in applause, I experienced one of those miraculous musical moments when the dots connected. Here was one of New York’s foremost interpreters of Jewish/Yiddish music, singing a contemporary song with sixty-year-old lyrics written by America’s iconic Okie troubadour, who in turn had structured the piece after an African American spiritual (“Children Go Where I Send Thee”). Sklamberg, along with his band mates, the Klezmatics, had added a fresh twist to the age-old folk process of forging new sounds from old traditions — in this case the seemingly unlikely merger of Eastern European Jewish music with an Anglo-prairie folk song via a nineteenth century black spiritual. So how did a nice Jewish band from New York City get caught up in Goyim folk music? The story began in 1997 at a Tanglewood concert that featured the renowned classical violinist Itzhak Perlman performing with the Klezmatics and three other klezmer bands.2 Woody Guthrie’s daughter, Nora, made her way backstage after the show and was surprised to learn that the lyrics to one of the Klezmatics’ songs, “Fisherlid” (“Fisherman’s Song”), had been written by her grandmother, the Yiddish poet Aliza Greenblatt.3 “I almost fell through the floor,” she recalled.

  • Family Album
    FAMILY ALBUM http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle... Return to regular view Print This Article FAMILY ALBUM - Andrew Gilbert Sunday, December 5, 2004 Woody Guthrie was many things in his life -- Dust Bowl troubadour, lefty activist, tireless tunesmith whose songs helped define an inclusive vision of America forged by the New Deal and World War II. But who knew that he was also a mensch who celebrated Hanukkah and doted on his mother-in-law, Aliza Greenblatt, a noted Yiddish poet? That side of the iconic Oklahoma folkie is the subject of "Holy Ground: The Spiritual Music of Woody Guthrie," at UC Berkeley's Zellerbach Hall on Tuesday. The concert features Woody's oldest son, Arlo Guthrie, the enthralling Irish vocalist Susan McKeown and the Klezmatics, a remarkable klezmer ensemble that has collaborated with many creative figures, including John Zorn, Pilobolus Dance Theatre, Allen Ginsberg, the Master Musicians of Jajouka and Itzhak Perlman. It was a concert with Perlman that led to the Klezmatics' connection with the Woody Guthrie Archives. After a 1997 performance at Tanglewood, the group's vocalist, Lorin Sklamberg, noticed Woody's daughter, Nora Guthrie, in the audience, and introduced her to Perlman as Greenblatt's granddaughter. Unaware of her grandmother's reputation in Yiddish literary circles, Guthrie was amazed to discover that the concert she had just heard featured a poem by Greenblatt that had long been part of the Klezmatics' repertoire. "Nora says, 'Listen, I have these archives and Woody wrote all these Jewish songs,' " recalls Klezmatics trumpeter Frank London. "We're like, 'right,' and being the fools we are, we did nothing about it.

  • Woodrow and Israel
    WOODROW AND ISRAEL Prepared for the Literary Club of Cincinnati by Jerry Kathman November 7, 2011 Named after the governor of New Jersey, the democratic candidate who would soon be elected the 28th President of the United States, Woodrow Wilson Guthrie was born almost 100 years ago on July 14, 1912, Bastille Day, in Okemah, Oklahoma to Nora and Charley Guthrie. He was the third of the couple’s five children. No one called him Woodrow. John Steinbeck said it best, “Woody is just Woody. Thousands of people do not know he has any other name. He is just a voice and a guitar. He sings the Woody Guthrie, 1943 songs of the people, and I suspect that he is, from the Library of in a way, that people. Harsh voiced and nasal, Congress collection his guitar hanging like a tire iron on a rusty rim, there is nothing sweet about Woody, and there is nothing sweet about the songs he sings. But there is something more important for those who will listen.” Steinbeck continues, “There is the will of the people to endure and fight against oppression. I think we call this the American spirit.” The corpus of Woody Guthrie’s work covers vast territory, physical and intellectual, in the American 20th century. Woody Guthrie’s songs do not merit the status of great literary work. His best songwriting efforts, however, evidenced by the longevity and ubiquity of his most famous work, This Land is Your Land, have the power to enthrall. In discussing that song, Studs Terkel notes his satisfaction that Woody’s birth date is on Bastille Day, July 14.

  • Woody (Guthrie) Und Albert (Einstein) Wer Hätte Das Gedacht?
    Workshop Woody (Guthrie) und Albert (Einstein) Wer hätte das gedacht? Einstein Forum, 23. Mai 2012 Einstein Forum Am Neuen Markt 7 14467 Potsdam Tel.: 0331 271 78 0 Fax: 0331 271 78 27 http://www.einsteinforum.de [email protected] Titel: Woody Guthrie, New York City, 1943, Foto: Eric Schaal 2 Woody (Guthrie) und Albert (Einstein). Wer hätte das gedacht? In diesem Jahr wäre Woody Guthrie 100 Jahre alt geworden. Seine Musik und seine Texte sind immer noch aktuell und wurden jüngst vielerorts als Soundtrack der Occupy-Bewegung bezeichnet. Mit diesem Workshop wird durch einen Film, eine Fotoausstellung und mehrere Vorträge – unter anderem von seiner Tochter Nora – an den Dichter und Aktivisten erinnert. Darüber hinaus wird nach den geistigen und musikalischen Erben Guthries gefragt, um zu überlegen, wie die Protest-Lieder des 21. Jahrhunderts aussehen könnten. Im Anschluss an den Workshop gibt es im Einsteinhaus Caputh ein Konzert mit dem Musiker und Autor Wenzel, der Guthries Texte für das Guthrie-Archiv neu ins Deutsche übersetzte. Denn – wer hätte das gedacht? – Guthrie ist seinerzeit nach Princeton gereist, um Albert Einstein kennenzulernen. 3 Abstracts und CV Martin Butler Oldenburg Woody Guthrie und Punk Beobachtungen zu Formen und Funktionen einer fruchtbaren Zusammenarbeit Der Vortrag illustriert anhand einiger Hörbeispiele, auf welche Art und Weise die Figur Woody Guthrie und dessen Werk in der zeitgenössischen Punkmusik weiterleben. Er geht dabei von der These aus, dass sich Punk durch den Bezug auf den amerikanischen Liedermacher ganz bewusst in eine Tradition politischer Liedkultur in den Vereinigten Staaten einzureihen versucht. Punk tritt also das ‚Erbe‘ Guthries nicht nur zum Zweck der Huldigung einer Ikone der Folkmusikszene an, sondern bedient sich auch des symbolischen Stellenwerts des Liedermachers zur Erhöhung der eigenen Glaubwürdigkeit in Zeiten, in denen subkulturelle Ausdrucksformen ständig vom „Ausverkauf“ bedroht sind.

  • Woody, Isaiah, and Us Rabbi Ayelet S. Cohen Yom Kippur 5773 West End Synagogue
    Woody, Isaiah, and Us Rabbi Ayelet S. Cohen Yom Kippur 5773 West End Synagogue You never know who your teachers are going to be, or from where you will learn the Torah you need to hear. Last summer in the Berkshires, my nephew Toby introduced me—all of our family actually—to an album, and one song in particular, that has become some of the most important Torah I have learned in the last few years. Toby was all of five at the time, so we heard the album about four hundred times, frequently at earsplitting volume. Like all Jews receiving prophecy, we were resistant. We tried turning it off, we tried negotiating a maximum volume, we tried playing something else. But Toby was very insistent, and for our kids whatever he says, goes. So finally, we submitted. We listened to the album, called Wonder Wheel. It’s an amazing album. It’s a collection of previously unrecorded songs by Woody Guthrie, whose centennial is being celebrated this year, set to music by the Klezmatics. You might think this an odd combination. Most of us think of Guthrie as the quintessentially American Dust Bowl troubadour who became the voice of labor and justice in American society. Politics aside, he seems culturally about as far as you can get from Klezmer. But we were surprised to discover that Woody Guthrie had a profound Brooklyn Jewish connection. Woody Guthrie was born in Oklahoma just over a century ago—on July 14, 1912—to parents who instilled in him their love of folk music.
