A year-long celebration of the centennial of Woody Guthrie’s birth will include a host of concerts, programs and events around the world.  A key locus of celebration will be the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles, CA.

“To Woody, poet of the rain-starved Dust Bowl, this mighty stream of cool, clear water, coursing through evergreen forests, verdant meadows, and high deserts was like a vision of paradise. He saw the majestic Grand Coulee Dam as the creation of the common man to harness the river for the common good – work for the jobless, power to ease household tasks, power to strengthen Uncle Sam in his fight against world fascism.”
