Utah Phillips
Utah Phillips, folklorist, songwriter and storyteller, is having some tough times. Health care for aging musicians in this country is of similar or lesser quality to the health care received by prison inmates and skid row bums. I doubt that any future health care reform will come soon enough to help Utah Phillips. I know many of you are die-hard folkies and are already familiar with his work. Myself, I own autographed copies of all his albums and CDs. If you're not familiar with his stuff, might I suggest now would be a good time to pick up a CD or two, and that if you buy them direct from him, well, that would really be cool. My own recommendations for getting started are his early albums, with most of his best original songs, including Good Though and El Capitan, both of which are pretty much included in the boxed set.
