With this current article, researchers need only utilize these three bibliographies to identify all English- language items of relevance related to, or written by, Guthrie. Introduction Woodrow Wilson Guthrie (1912–67) was a singer, musician, composer, author, artist, radio personality, columnist, activist, and philosopher. By now, most anyone with interest knows the shorthand version of his biography: refugee from the Oklahoma dust bowl, California radio show performer, New York City socialist, musical documentarian of the Northwest, merchant marine, and finally decline and death from Huntington’s chorea.

  • Steinbeck, Guthrie and Zanuck: a Dust Bowl Triptych. the Intertextual Life of the Grapes of Wrath on Paper, Celluloid and Vinyl”, Crossroads
    Foulds, Peter. “Steinbeck, Guthrie and Zanuck: a Dust Bowl Triptych. The Intertextual Life of The Grapes of Wrath on Paper, Celluloid and Vinyl”, Crossroads. A Journal of English Studies 4 (1/2014), 50-58. Peter Foulds The University of Bialystok Steinbeck, Guthrie and Zanuck: a Dust Bowl Triptych. The Intertextual Life of The Grapes of Wrath on Paper, Celluloid and Vinyl Abstract. In a world where the arts have become one more target for multimedia corporations it is worth remembering the more authentic intertextuality of works which appeared around 1940, i.e. John Steinbeck’s The Grapes of Wrath, Darryl F. Zanuck and John Ford’s film of the same name, and the songs of Woody Guthrie. Never before had literature, cinema and song been so intimately and powerfully linked, and nothing since has come near to replicating this unique symbiosis. Keywords: Dust Bowl, Great Depression, intertextuality. Along with blatant product placement in films Hollywood accountants today build into their projects spin-offs and tie-ins, such as board games, school accessories, books of the film, clothing, and anything else that can capture the imaginations and money of the audience. In a less cynical age the process was more organic. John Steinbeck’s The Grapes of Wrath (published 75 years ago this April) inspired Darryl F. Zanuck and John Ford to make their great film of the same name, and Woody Guthrie to write songs celebrating its characters. As the journalist Alan Yuhas recently pointed out, “[Steinbeck] inspired Cesar Chavez and John Kennedy; Bruce Springsteen and Woody Guthrie (and by extension Rage Against the Machine); John Ford and South Park.” Yunas goes on to say that The Grapes of Wrath “means just as much to the US now as it did in 1939, when the Dust Bowl destroyed the American west, the economy lay in tatters, a minority held the keys to the bank, and a vast migrant population wandered without homes or rights.” (www.theguardian.com.).

  • 1 Bob Dylan's American Journey, 1956-1966 September 29, 2006, Through January 6, 2007 Exhibition Labels Exhibit Introductory P
    Bob Dylan’s American Journey, 1956-1966 September 29, 2006, through January 6, 2007 Exhibition Labels Exhibit Introductory Panel I Think I’ll Call It America Born into changing times, Bob Dylan shaped history in song. “Life’s a voyage that’s homeward bound.” So wrote Herman Melville, author of the great tall tale Moby Dick and one of the American mythmakers whose legacy Bob Dylan furthers. Like other great artists this democracy has produced, Dylan has come to represent the very historical moment that formed him. Though he calls himself a humble song and dance man, Dylan has done more to define American creative expression than anyone else in the past half-century, forming a new poetics from his emblematic journey. A small town boy with a wandering soul, Dylan was born into a post-war landscape of possibility and dread, a culture ripe for a new mythology. Learning his craft, he traveled a road that connected the civil rights movement to the 1960s counterculture and the revival of American folk music to the creation of the iconic rock star. His songs reflected these developments and, resonating, also affected change. Bob Dylan, 1962 Photo courtesy of John Cohen Section 1: Hibbing Red Iron Town Bobby Zimmerman was a typical 1950’s kid, growing up on Elvis and television. Northern Minnesota seems an unlikely place to produce an icon of popular music—it’s leagues away from music birthplaces like Memphis and New Orleans, and seems as cold and characterless as the South seems mysterious. Yet growing up in the small town of Hibbing, Bob Dylan discovered his musical heritage through radio stations transmitting blues and country from all over, and formed his own bands to practice the newfound religion of rock ‘n’ roll.

  • American Folk Music:The Golden Age, 1950–75 Thursdays, August 6 – September 24, 2020 on Zoom with Rhythmix Cultural Works Instructor: Peter Elman
    American Folk Music:The Golden Age, 1950–75 Thursdays, August 6 – September 24, 2020 On Zoom with Rhythmix Cultural Works Instructor: Peter Elman "Folk music--a bellwether for us in these days of reckoning." The folk music that emerged in the 1950's has lasted 70 years and will last a lot longer. Why? Because of the confluence of people, politics, philosophy and social awareness that came out of the post-war era which ushered in a new age of enlightenment. This course will examine the soundtrack of that period and how folk music became associated with, aligned with and drove social protest movements while being integrated into the larger world of popular music. Starring: Leadbelly, Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, Odetta, Harry Belafonte, Kingston Trio, Barbara Dane, Bob Dylan, Fred Neil, Tim Hardin, Tim Buckley, Judy Collins, Joan Baez, Peter, Paul and Mary, Tom Rush, Phil Ochs, Dave Van Ronk, Ian and Sylvia, Gordon Lightfoot, Leonard Cohen, Neil Young, John Stewart and others. * * * * This course could not be more relevant or timely. Our country is at a crossroads. The devastation of the pandemic and the accompanying economic meltdown have only served to highlight a much deeper problem; namely, the issue of race and inequality in our society. Somehow we have yet to come to terms with our 400-year-old twin original sins: the displacement of native peoples and the enslavement and disenfranchisement of African-Americans. Folk music has been there all along to play a role in the consciousness of Americans. As great as it is to be entertained and enriched by music, sometimes it must serve as more.

  • 02. Fenton, Poetic Motion
    ISSN 2053-8804 Woody Guthrie Annual, 3 (2017): Fenton: Guthrie’s Poetic Motion “A Dance That Is Danced Standing Still”: Poetic Motion in the Work of Woody Guthrie1 ! Jamie Fenton! ! Today you’re a better songbird than you was yesterday, ‘cause you know a little bit more, you seen a little bit more, and all you got to do is just park yourself under a shade tree, or maybe at a desk, if you still got a desk, and haul off and write down some way you think this old world could be fixed so’s it would be twice as level and half as steep, and take the knocks out of it, and grind the valves, and tighten the rods, and take up the bearings, and put a boot in the casing, and make the whole trip a little bit smoother, and a little bit more like a trip instead of a trap (Woody Guthrie, “Introduction,” Hard Hitting Songs for Hard-Hit People)2 ! Woody Guthrie writes the troubled world of 1940s America as an engine which needs fixing. This “old world” is going somewhere, towards a new, more global world, and it is the job of the writer, who is “you,” everyone, to get things in shape for the journey. In a mixed metaphor of total movement, the engine is also the road on which it runs, which needs to be “twice as level and half as steep,” a tautology which performs its own sort of flattening on the sentence. Only after all the work of grinding, tightening and taking-up will the world be made “a little bit more like a trip instead of a trap.” This last phrase does some more fixing-up work, showing us how “trap” can been repurposed, smoothed into “trip.” “[A] little bit more like a trip instead of a trap” also trips, tumbling lightly over the assonance of “little […] bit […] trip […] trap.” And it is only at the full stop, the punctuation which traps the sentence, that we realize the length of the trip from where and when we set off: “Today.” We become better songbirds over the course of the long sentence.

  • A New Annual Festival Celebrating the History and Heritage of Greenwich Village
    A New Annual Festival Celebrating the History and Heritage of Greenwich Village TALKIN’ NEW YORK FOLK REVIVAL An all-star evening of live music with Happy Traum, Tom Chapin and the Chapin Sisters, David Massengill, Diana Jones, and more. Special guest: David Amram, Village Trip Artist-in-Residence The Bitter End, Sunday September 30, at 7pm till late If you had to pick a date when what became known as the New York folk revival took root, you’d probably choose March 3, 1940. The place was the Forrest Theater on West 49th Street, the occasion a benefit for the John Steinbeck Committee for Agricultural Workers. The evening’s performers included Lead Belly, Aunt Molly Jackson, Josh White, Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger, who alone hailed from New York City. Seeger fumbled his performance of “John Henry” and the evening’s star was Guthrie, “offhand and casual… spinning out stories and singings songs he’d made up,” Seeger recalled. “I just naturally wanted to know more about him.” “Go back to that night when Pete first met Woody,” musician and folklorist Alan Lomax would later reflect. “You can date the renaissance of American folk song from that night.” Soon Seeger and Guthrie, along with Lee Hays, Millard Lampell and Bess Lomax, had formed the Almanac Singers, the first urban folk music group whose line-up, over time, included Josh White, Sis Cunningham, Cisco Houston and Burl Ives. Some of them shared an apartment on 10th Street in the Village. There the Almanacs held “hootenannies” – a made-up word coined by Guthrie and Seeger – to help pay the rent.

  • Woody Guthrie Singer, Songwriter, Author, and Social Activist, Woody Guthrie Was Exposed to Music and Politics at an Early Age
    Lesson 2: Woody Guthrie Singer, songwriter, author, and social activist, Woody Guthrie was exposed to music and politics at an early age. In combining music and politics in his songwriting, Guthrie became America’s first true folk hero. Guthrie wrote hundreds of songs, including such classics as This Land is Your Land; So Long, It’s Been Good to Know You; and Oklahoma Hills, the official Oklahoma State Folksong. The colorful life he led became as legendary as the songs he wrote. Born July 14, 1912, in Okemah, Oklahoma, Guthrie’s father was a real-estate broker and politician who Woody Guthrie: This Land Was Made for You and Me fell on hard times, and his mother suffered from by Charles Banks Wilson Huntington’s disease, a genetic nerve disorder that Courtesy of the Oklahoma Arts Council and the artist led to her death. Guthrie learned how to play guitar, mandolin, fiddle, and harmonica in his adolescence. He also read and wrote avidly, drew cartoons and painted. During the Dust Bowl of the 1930s, Guthrie traveled and slept among migrants and hobos, accumulating the life experiences that fed his songs, stories, and autobiography, Bound for Glory.
