Monday Music - Woody Guthrie

I'm back from a much-needed vacation. We spent a few days up on the North Shore of Lake Superior and then headed back home to spend a week catching up on home projects. It wasn't exactly a get-off-your-feet-and-rest sort of vacation, but it felt great to get some stuff done at home and to have a complete break from regular responsibilities.

Last week marked the 100th year since Woody Guthrie's birth. There were many articles and podcasts celebrating the legendary American folk artist. Here are a few I'd recommend.
