Woody's Road: Woody Guthrie's Letters Home, Drawings, Photos, and Other Unburied Treasures (Nine Lives Music Series) (Nine Lives Musical Series)
I and so many of my musician friends are indebted to Woody for his lifelong commitment to social change and to the common man. These letters that Mary Jo has saved provide a new and open window to Woody's early years and to the love he had for his family. It's a rare and fascinating collection! -- Graham Nash, Artist There's no one who knew, loved or communicated with my father for longer, no one in this world knew him better throughout the entire range of his life than his little sister, and my aunt, Mary Jo... In large part her kindness, humor and genuine Oklahoma sensibilities have made her brother more accessible to friends and neighbors in his own backyard. It is difficult as noted elsewhere to be a prophet in your own country. But with a little sister like my Aunt Mary Jo, it was not impossible for my father to become just that. --Arlo Guthrie
