JANUARY 2017

This month, a new president takes up residence at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, following one of the most divisive elections in the history of our republic. In a country divided, we look for ways to come together, and our rich musical heritage is a resource we can return to for strength and inspiration. Many claim Woody Guthrie to be the founder of the modern folk movement. Before there was Seeger and Springsteen, before Bob Dylan won the Nobel Prize for Literature, there was Woody Guthrie. Our folk music traditions are a finely woven tapestry, with distinctive regional threads stretching back hundreds of years to the first waves of colonists and refugees from Europe, the British Isles, and Africa—peoples brought here as slaves against their will.

Guthrie, who grew up comfortably middle-class in Oklahoma, saw his father lose everything in the Great Depression. As a young man, he moved to California where he wrote songs based on the music and stories of his fellow Okies who fled the Dust Bowl, looking for opportunity. He roamed far and wide, standing up for working people everywhere. And while his vagabond life created deep rifts within his own family, through his simple ballads, Guthrie dreamed of a unified America—a vision for the country many of us were first introduced to in grade school. When my daughter and I sing “this land is your land, this land is my land,” it still radiates good will, kindness, and democracy for me 35 years later.

Guthrie loved the Pacific Northwest with a passion, playing his guitar and serenading Seattleites on the streets. Greg Vandy, a local DJ at KEXP, recently published a beautiful biography focused on Guthrie’s short, prolific stint working for the WPA as a promoter of hydroelectric dams in the Columbia Basin. Songs written during that period like “Roll on Columbia, Roll On,” “Pastures of Plenty,” and “Way Up In That Northwest” all speak powerfully to the yearning, rambling, hardy spirit that characterizes us Pacific Northwesterners and the majestic beauty of our region.

It is a joy for us to have the talented David M. Lutken, who devised Woody

Sez, reprising his role as Guthrie along with a fantastic, versatile cast of actor/musicians who not only play a wide range of instruments, but also bring to life the many characters who peopled Guthrie’s fascinating life. Please join us in this celebration of music, national history, and the power of togetherness.

It’s the start of a new year and there’s no better way to celebrate a fresh start than with a musical production that speaks to our culture of hope. Woody Guthrie as a musician embodied good will and symbolized the American Dream; he hoped for and worked toward a strengthened America through his inimitable songs, including “Deportees,” “Hard Travelin’,” and “This Land is Your Land.”

We encourage you to check out the editorial in this program (page 10) and our Know Before You Go program in which we tapped the musical genius of KEXP radio DJ Greg Vandy for his in-depth and personal knowledge of Woody Guthrie—the musician, the activist, the man.

Thank you for joining us and we look forward to celebrating this music that so defines ourselves and our American culture.

She was the first woman (and first Canadian) to enter the National Flatpicking Championships in Winfield, KS, taking her place in the top 10. A writer, producer, musical director, and coach, Darcie’s theatre work includes the 2001 multiple productions of Woody Guthrie’s American Song, Back Bog Beast Bait, Cottonpatch Gospel, and Always, Patsy Cline.

“ i am now becoming convinced that when the people are deeply moved by the impulse

to take constructive action, they sing. when they are afraid, the spirit of song dies away. ”-Henry Wallace on the necessity of American folk music, 1948

EXCERPTS FROM GREG VANDY’S

The Guthrie family at their ramshackle home in Los Angeles, 1941.

Woody Guthrie near a Shafter labor camp in 1941.

This article pulls sections from Vandy’s comprehensive biography on Guthrie’s time in the Pacific Northwest.

When you think of the classic folk musician with guitar and harmonica rack, hat, work clothes, and a point of view, you’re imagining Woody Guthrie—an iconic American figure who became a legend by singing songs simply.

Guthrie will always be a symbol of hard times and Depression-era politics, forever representing the twentieth-century folk identity. His genius was to simplify. He tackled the big subjects with an aw-shucks sensibility that proved to be a gift. He wrote, sang, talked, laughed, and borrowed using an American vernacular that expressed the voice of the people—a theme from which he never wavered. Woody’s message was wrapped up in a unique set of beliefs and politics that merged his religious background with a new brand of Americanism layered in modern socialism, with determination to help the poor and the down-and-out. He was a flawed man, with a lifestyle and pattern of bewildering decisions that can be described as selfish and irresponsible, bordering on self-destructive. His ramblin’ was renowned, and his commitment to the road would ultimately verify his authenticity as someone who knew the land and its people. He summed up his ethos as an artist simply: “All you can write is what

you see.”

Woodrow Wilson Guthrie was born in Oklahoma on July 14, 1912, just 12 days after his namesake won the Democratic nomination for president. Though Woody (as he was quickly nicknamed) initially seemed destined to enjoy a comfortable middle-class upbringing as the third child of a well-off family, nationwide financial

instability following World War I sent his father into poverty. His sister Clara died after a terrible argument with their mother Nora in 1919, and by the mid-1920s, it was clear to Woody that his mother was suffering from severe mental illness. She was not diagnosed at the time of her illness but had Huntington’s disease, which Woody later inherited. Nora was committed to an insane asylum in 1927 and died only two years later. By 1930, Woody was a high school dropout, taking odd jobs and sleeping where he could as

he traveled to different parts of Oklahoma and Texas, hitchhiking with his harmonica and singing for nickels and dimes. Woody was shaped by the misfortune and unpredictability of his formative years and yet bravely accepted his lot. Instead of crying, he would become the clown, perhaps deflecting serious emotions with humor and lightheartedness.

Then came the dust.

Just as the late 1920s oil boom was ending and the Great Depression was setting in, signs of drought were surfacing on the southern Great Plains. It turned out to be a drought of biblical proportions, one that lasted 10 years and turned the place Woody lived into a region known generally as the Dust Bowl. The dust storms raged throughout the early and mid 1930s—

the scariest were the black blizzards that looked like mountain ranges one

hundred feet high, which turned the sky so dark you couldn’t see your hand in front of your face. 250,000 families fled the Dust Bowl in search of a new life. As Woody watched them go, he wrote one of his first songs:

So long, it’s been good to know yuhThis dusty old dust is a-gettin’ my home

In 1941, Guthrie was 28 years old, married with three children, and living hand to mouth in Los Angeles. He had one record to his name, which wasn’t selling,

and had just quit a lucrative gig at CBS in New York over a matter of principle. His marriage was falling apart, he was drinking heavily, and he was seriously behind on his car payments and rent. When a man stopped by the house one day to chat about a potential job opportunity writing songs about the Columbia River and its federal projects, Guthrie, with nothing much to lose, stuffed his family and their belongings into his Pontiac and drove north to Portland. Though the Bonneville Power Administration was surprised when he reported for a job that he had never technically been hired for, Guthrie managed to sweet-talk his way into the position, and soon entered the most productive month of his life, writing 26 songs in 30 days.

By taking the gig, Guthrie was joining in the New Deal propaganda machine espoused by FDR and his fellow Democrats, who were on a mission to remake America. Their solution to the Dust Bowl crisis and the thousands of displaced migrant families was a land reclamation project in the Pacific Northwest with newly irrigated acreage the size of Delaware dedicated to family farms. It was dubbed a “promised land.” New Dealers knew a big dream like this wouldn’t succeed without high-minded optimism, and so produced music, plays, and movies, all rooted in the folk aesthetic, to gain the support of the public.

By today’s thinking, it can be difficult to understand why a folk singer like Woody Guthrie, who proved willing to walk away from good money based on principles before, so vociferously endorsed projects like the Bonneville and Grand Coulee Dams. They killed salmon, took away tribal land, and powered war industries—all factors well understood by the time Guthrie arrived. While some people have castigated Guthrie for his support of the dams, others have tried to apologize for him by suggesting he was naïve and didn’t understand what he was being asked to endorse. Neither point of view gets to the

more complicated truth.

Guthrie was deeply affected by the collapse of the Oklahoma and Texas economies due to prolonged drought, and the limited options open to the dispossessed farmers who migrated to California. He was also impressed by the efforts of the federal government

to help migrant workers in Southern California—via the farm labor camps like those Steinbeck featured in The Grapes of Wrath. To Woody Guthrie, the Dust Bowl balladeer, the dams were the answer to the ills of his time and the path forward for his people. Arlo Guthrie said the project was life-changing for his father: “He saw himself for the first time as being on the inside of a worthwhile, monumental, world-changing, nature-challenging, huge-beyond-belief thing. It was bigger than him, and frankly there weren’t many things he considered bigger than him. […] He believed what was happening here was not only good, but needed.” Guthrie died of complications of Huntington’s disease on October 3, 1967.

Today, the 26 songs Woody Guthrie wrote for the Columbia River projects remain an accomplishment in terms of songwriting, but they ultimately stand the test of time as one of Woody’s finest bodies of work—a song cycle that was unusually focused and extremely inspiring. There’s no doubt that “Pastures of Plenty,” “Grand Coulee Dam,” and “Roll On, Columbia” have

outlived their usefulness in promoting the Columbia River projects, but they live on in the pantheon of American folk music.

The American Folk revival is generally thought to be a late 50s and 1960s social phenomenon (in music, especially), but we claim that it really started in the 1930s with a wider cultural platform. The commissioning of artists by New Dealers promoted a new national narrative of social democracy starring the working man that installed confidence and faith in Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s recovery programs during the Great Depression. Folk music, films (director Frank Capra’s work), literature (The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck), murals (artist Diego Rivera), and the beginnings of photojournalism by the Farm Security Administration (photojournalist Dorothea Lange) sought to communicate the “American vernacular” or the way “real people” looked, talked, and persevered during hard times, which proved to be a very successful tactic in fostering a unique kind of populism. By focusing on our “cultural wealth” of the time, Americans gained confidence despite a lack of material wealth. In the late 1950s, a new generation of young people also sought to be “real” by playing the old-time, vernacular music—such as Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, and Woody’s son Arlo. By the time of Woody’s death, his work had been discovered by a new audience, introduced to them by these artists who carried on his legacy.

and had just quit a lucrative gig at CBS in New York over a matter of principle. His marriage was falling apart, he was drinking heavily, and he was seriously behind on his car payments and rent. When a man stopped by the house one day to chat about a potential job opportunity writing songs about the Columbia River and its federal projects, Guthrie, with nothing much to lose, stuffed his family and their belongings into his Pontiac and drove north to Portland. Though the Bonneville Power Administration was surprised when he reported for a job that he had never technically been hired for, Guthrie managed to sweet-talk his way into the position, and soon entered the most productive month of his life, writing 26 songs in 30 days.

By taking the gig, Guthrie was joining in the New Deal propaganda machine espoused by FDR and his fellow Democrats, who were on a mission to remake America. Their solution to the Dust Bowl crisis and the thousands of displaced migrant families was a land reclamation project in the Pacific Northwest with newly irrigated acreage the size of Delaware dedicated to family farms. It was dubbed a “promised land.” New Dealers knew a big dream like this wouldn’t succeed without high-minded optimism, and so produced music, plays, and movies, all rooted in the folk aesthetic, to gain the support of the public.

By today’s thinking, it can be difficult to understand why a folk singer like Woody Guthrie, who proved willing to walk away from good money based on principles before, so vociferously endorsed projects like the Bonneville and Grand Coulee Dams. They killed salmon, took away tribal land, and powered war industries—all factors well understood by the time Guthrie arrived. While some people have castigated Guthrie for his support of the dams, others have tried to apologize for him by suggesting he was naïve and didn’t understand what he was being asked to endorse. Neither point of view gets to the

more complicated truth.

Guthrie was deeply affected by the collapse of the Oklahoma and Texas economies due to prolonged drought, and the limited options open to the dispossessed farmers who migrated to California. He was also impressed by the efforts of the federal government

to help migrant workers in Southern California—via the farm labor camps like those Steinbeck featured in The Grapes of Wrath. To Woody Guthrie, the Dust Bowl balladeer, the dams were the answer to the ills of his time and the path forward for his people. Arlo Guthrie said the project was life-changing for his father: “He saw himself for the first time as being on the inside of a worthwhile, monumental, world-changing, nature-challenging, huge-beyond-belief thing. It was bigger than him, and frankly there weren’t many things he considered bigger than him. […] He believed what was happening here was not only good, but needed.” Guthrie died of complications of Huntington’s disease on October 3, 1967.

Today, the 26 songs Woody Guthrie wrote for the Columbia River projects remain an accomplishment in terms of songwriting, but they ultimately stand the test of time as one of Woody’s finest bodies of work—a song cycle that was unusually focused and extremely inspiring. There’s no doubt that “Pastures of Plenty,” “Grand Coulee Dam,” and “Roll On, Columbia” have

outlived their usefulness in promoting the Columbia River projects, but they live on in the pantheon of American folk music.

The American Folk revival is generally thought to be a late 50s and 1960s social phenomenon (in music, especially), but we claim that it really started in the 1930s with a wider cultural platform. The commissioning of artists by New Dealers promoted a new national narrative of social democracy starring the working man that installed confidence and faith in Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s recovery programs during the Great Depression. Folk music, films (director Frank Capra’s work), literature (The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck), murals (artist Diego Rivera), and the beginnings of photojournalism by the Farm Security Administration (photojournalist Dorothea Lange) sought to communicate the “American vernacular” or the way “real people” looked, talked, and persevered during hard times, which proved to be a very successful tactic in fostering a unique kind of populism. By focusing on our “cultural wealth” of the time, Americans gained confidence despite a lack of material wealth. In the late 1950s, a new generation of young people also sought to be “real” by playing the old-time, vernacular music—such as Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, and Woody’s son Arlo. By the time of Woody’s death, his work had been discovered by a new audience, introduced to them by these artists who carried on his legacy.
