Woody Guthrie Interviews (2)

[@KaraLey98]

Wow he really has a graceful and sweet way of speaking-think I like speaking voice as much as singing!

[@Bob_Cats]

I love listening to Woody. He has a calming voice and fascinating stories

[@KYESTV]

How wonderful you shared this ancient (to me) recording. Thank you.

[@ralphowen3367]

I did not know all this about Woodies background. Thanks. Was just a few weeks ago driving along the Washington/ Oregon border along the Columbia and put on Roll on Columbia more than once while passing Hood River and the Dalles Damn.

Thank you mr. Dingle this part of our history and this man in particular it's certainly worth learning about

[@denniswade3429]

When Woody sings Jesus Christ he’s the only one who tells it like it is 👍🏻👍🏻

[@wychwoodmusic]

Thanks for sharing. My understanding is that Woody's mother almost certainly set all those fires, and he either didn't want to face it or say so. She was suffering pretty badly from Huntinton's disease, something that eventually got him too.

[@etanaedelman9011]

Man you can tell just how badly he was still affected by what happened to his mother and sister. When he talks about his mother's illness he's clearly trying not to cry, and he has to clear his throat to steady himself. Honestly, I find it really moving how much respect, love, and empathy he had for his mother, even before he started suffering from the disease himself and especially back in a time where mental and neurological illness was so stigmatized. She couldn't have been easy to live with but he never spoke unkindly of her.

@@etanaedelman9011 As gentle a person that he is, he obviously got that from his mother because children who are treated well, also do well and in kind. He knew on some level that his mother was ill.

[@etanaedelman9011]

​@@KaraLey98 It sounds like his mother really did the best she could; there just wasn't much you could do in those days. What particularly amazes me is how different he ended up from his father- Charles Guthrie was a conservative businessman who may have been affiliated with the KKK, published anti-socialist screeds, and almost certainly participated in a brutal lynching of a black woman and her son.
