 Woody Guthrie: His Life and His Songs, an awe-inspiring ten-frame (160-page) exhibition collection, divided into six parts,
tracing the life, times and music of one of America's greatest 20th century balladeers. Part I of the exhibit, "Way Down Yonder", begins with his childhood in Oklahoma, the origins of his name (Woodrow Wilson Guthrie), his musical
roots, the disintegration of his family, and his years in Texas. Part II, "From California to the New York Island", follows Guthrie in Los Angeles, New York City, "Roaming and Rambling", the evolution of his political views and his Union
songs, finding him at the end in the Pacific Northwest. Part III, "A Child to Fight", looks at Guthrie as a partisan songster, his service in the Merchant Marines and Army, and at his life after the war. Part IV, "Bound for Glory",
focuses on Guthrie's musical and family lives, with sections "A Living Legend", "Creative Artist", "Marriage and Fatherhood", "Religion" and "Tragic Fires". Part V, "The Crazeldy Nightmare", covers Guthrie's diagnosis with Huntington's Disease
and his slow decline and death. Part VI, "Epilogue", highlights the Woody Guthrie stamp issued in 1998. Covers come from his numerous hometowns (including a "From: Woody Guthrie" manuscript return address in New York City), towns bearing his
names or those of his family, towns relating to his numerous songs, even an Arlo Guthrie item or two, and a $10 bill from the Okemah National Bank where his father briefly worked. Winner of Large Gold at both the 2018 and 2023 GASS/NTSS shows, this
collection shows how rewarding lateral thinking can be, and must be seen to be fully appreciated. One to make your hear sing, fully imaged online. Ex Suffet. Shipping charges apply - weight 15 lbs. (PDF for this Lot) (PDF2 for this Lot)
