I enjoyed a great evening the other night at the Ashcroft theatre which is the smaller venue inside Fairfield Halls. My evening began by encountering the racist rant of a cretin outside East Croydon station, the entertainment which followed was certainly the antidote. My folks had gaffled tickets for a Woody Guthrie musical on the opening night the second they went on sale...
I'm glad they did, it was like going to the best gig ever. Woody Sez is a joy from beginning to end. This is the scene...
The story is basically the one penned by Woody himself in his novel. If you haven't read it you really should, a tale of misfortune, travel, love lost and the integrity of a man devoted to his craft. Check it out...
Here's a crowd pleaser from the show...
If you get a chance go and see the show by all means necessary or read the novel or at least listen to some off his songs and form an opinion. Without him there would be no Bruce Springsteen that's for sure and where would we be then?
