Thanks Wes, as I was lucky to see him once at a concert too. He radio show was neat, as he talked allot about his days riding the rails as a hobo.

It is loaded with his wry stories of riding the rails, interspersed with his wonderful songs. I treasure the evening I attended a concert by Phillips and his good friend, Rosalie Sorrels, in Woods Hole years ago. This world is a less interesting place since he left it. - Wes Ewell --- On Fri, 10/22/10, Michael & Linda Marmer <mailto:mlmarmer%40verizon.net> wrote: From: Michael & Linda Marmer <mailto:mlmarmer%40verizon.net> Subject: {S-Scale List} Utah Phillips To: "S Scale" <mailto:S-Scale%40yahoogroups.com>, "S Trains" <mailto:S-Trains%40yahoogroups.com>, "Toy Trains" <mailto:toytrains%40yahoogroups.com>, "Steve Conard" <mailto:steve.conard%40comcast.net> Date: Friday, October 22, 2010, 10:03 PM http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utah_Phillips Being in Maine reminded me of Utah Phillips as he used to have a show syndicated, Loafer’s Glory which was played on WERU in Maine. A great show. Utah was a train hopper was you can read about it above, as he did serve in the Military in in the 1950s. He past away in 2007. He was well known in the folk music world, as we saw him once. A character. http://loafersglory.org/ There is 28 shows on this website, as Tramping starts out with a poem. It is show number 6, as there is another show about Tramping on this site. RR music in the background, as this show is about Hobos and RRs. Allot of history about labor in the RR. Allot of old RR songs and the hard times. He has a show on baseball. Utah is very well spoken. I think some of you will enjoy his shows, especially the Tramping shows and the RRs.
