Woody Guthrie, New York City and Serendipity

Tuesday, September 23, 2014

As fate or coincidence would have it, I am home today recuperating from another too strenuous bout of umpiring and I happened to listen to a radio program on NPR called The Takeaway.  One of the segments on today's show happened to deal with Woody Guthrie and the little known fact that he wrote most of his songs while living in New York City including his famous This Land Is Your Land.  You can listen to the program yourself at

After listening to the program, perhaps you too will be pleasantly surprised. However, perhaps even more intriguing is to read this email thread in conjunction with listening to program while pondering on the mysteries of coincidence and on the wonder of fate.

Peace.
