BOUND FOR GLORY The Spirit of Woody Guthrie The Spirit of Woody Guthrie has been a universal inspiration throughout 4 decades of music history and has been a beacon of light at every turn along the way. Described as "The father of American folk music" and as "one of the patron saints of American rebelliousness", Guthrie's spirit continues to be a guiding force for a new vanguard of artists currently making their presence felt. To celebrate 40 years of "The Spirit of Woody Guthrie" an eclectic group of British musicians, whose collective careers span 4 of the most eventful decades in music history, have joined forces to bring Guthrie's spirit to a new generation. Zoot Money, Dave Sharp, Henry McCullough, Gary Fletcher and Colin Allen have all individually made their mark on the history of Rock & Roll. Collectively as The Hard Travelers they hold the promise of a major force to be reckoned with. From the British blues boom of the 1960s on through the Woodstock era and Punk Rock to the present day The Hard Travelers make their touring debut, spring 2008. NEW BBQ CD - you'd be a bampot to miss it Famous Last Words... S J Thompson Farewell Steve "Tommo" Thompson once bass player with John Mayall, Stone the Crows and friend until Dec 23rd 2007. The first to be 'hip' to South Park, Seinfeld, Larry Sanders, Human Remains, People Like Us, Curb, appreciating the old (Marx Bros) to the newest Stewie (Family Guy) taking in Bronx Bunny as well as Sunshine Boys. It's not just bass players we're losing this last two years, it's their individualistic disrespectful approach to life and friends. Humour is a fragile little animal and is only nurtured by constant feeding with measured amounts of irony, misfortune, happiness, gibbering silly friends. Accurate detatched observance. I couldn't compile a book of texts, post/birthday/Xmas cards I have received from him, but be assured that would be a stocking filler to beat most "humorists"' Xmas offering. With his passing another big piece of cladding that defends my possitive mental life-defence has been torn away. Although not totally attack vunerable, without Stevie, I shall be working hard to create my own comments and philosophies to keep me laughing. Dark days... ...so, to you Tommo..."Boat Drinks !" ...If you have to look that up in movie quotes, so be it. He would expect it. MISSED A STORY?
