Hi guys. The Woodie Guthrie Center just opened in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Here's a 4 minute NPR Radio segment about it. (Or you can read the brief article.)

Coming Home: The Woody Guthrie Center Opens In Tulsa

The folk music icon's relationship with his home state has always been complicated. To many in Oklahoma, Guthrie's progressive political views didn't fit with a strong conservative streak during the Cold War period. His reputation there is now closer to full restoration as Tulsa opens his archives.

Thanks Bunny, Guthrie is one of the folk greats. I really enjoyed a play I saw in London a couple of years ago called Woodie Sez. I believe it toured the States as well. great stuff.
