Arlo Guthrie

[Subdeacon Joe 18,420]

On Amazon Prime there is a great piece, Alice's Restaurant 50th Anniversary.  Lisa searched on Amazon Prime for "folk music" and it was one of the things that came up.  A lot about his dad, Woody.  A lot of personal history.  The guy is a great storyteller.

And the judge wasn't going to look at the 27 - 8 x 10 color glossy photographs with the circle and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one explaining what each one was to be used as evidence against us.....

Give or take a lie or two..,

 

Arlo told the story on several occasions!  The unembellished story is almost as funny as the song!!

 City of New Orleans was written by the late Steve Goodman. He was also responsible for "the perfect country song," You Never Even Called My By My Name."

My draft physical had elements similar to the ballad...
