Andrea Raymond does a wonderful job in editing and reporting in this vital journal; communicating and teaching, covering communities day and night. And hustling the ads, to boot. Until recently I thought she owned the joint. Like wow - doing this incredible amount of creatve vital work for someone else? The Patch group should be delighted with her stewardship, but apparently also need to hear from you. Please oblige. Ed

Those years had a profound impact on his music and his politics. He wrote some of his best songs during that period, when he lived in downtown LA, Glendale, and Echo Park. Woody is one of the people I profile in my new book, <http://100greatestamericans.org/> The 100 Greatest Americans of the 20th Century: A Social Justice Hall of Fame. The book will be on sale at the event and I'll be signing books for those who are interested. In addition, folk singer <http://www.ultimate.com/altman/songfighter.html> Ross Altman will play a selection of Guthrie's songs from that period. Two weeks later, on Saturday, September 29, at 2 pm, the Pasadena Public Library will be screening the wonderful PBS American Masters documentary film, "Woody Guthrie: Ain't Got No Home." It includes great footage from Woody's life as well as interviews with Pete Seeger, Bruce Springsteen, and others. Ed Cray, professor at USC and author of <http://www.vromansbookstore.com/book/9780393327366> Ramblin' Man: The Life and Times of Woody Guthrie, will introduce the film. For more information, call 626.744.7260 or visit <http://cityofpasadena.net/EkContent.aspx?theme=Olive&id=8589937034&bid=3008 &style=news&bid=3008> pasadenapubliclibrary.net You can learn more about the year-long Woody Centennial Celebration, cosponsored by the Woody Guthrie Archives and the Grammy Museum, at this <http://www.woody100.com/> website.
