I was very happy to learn of the Woody Guthrie Center near downtown Tulsa, it opened recently and is a beautiful space filled with Guthrie’s guitars, original songs, sketches and paints and recordings. There is a gallery devoted to photographs taken of Guthrie and Bob Dylan, each at opposite ends of brilliant careers.

Guthrie was born about 100 miles from Tulsa and I found the museum to be a powerful experience, I have greatly admired Guthrie for his compassion and writing. I suspect he would be writing the same songs if he were alive today, America, I think, doesn’t really ever change all that much. Photograph is banned inside the museum but I did get off a few shots and will share them over the next few days.
