WHEN BOB DYLAN MET WOODY GUTHRIE: The Guthrie Family Story Presented by Anna Canoni (Woody Guthrie’s granddaughter and President of Woody Guthrie Publications).
In this special program, Guthrie’s granddaughter Anna Canoni delves into the personal and professional relationship between Woody Guthrie and Bob Dylan, exploring the deeper creative impact Woody had on Bob Dylan's writing in his early days. Anna will share her family life and Woody’s illness with Huntington’s disease, which he was symptomatic with when first meeting Bob.
As Bob Dylan said about Woody’s songwriting, "You could listen to his songs and actually learn how to live. The songs themselves had the infinite sweep of humanity in them." What did he mean by that? In this rare program, through the Guthrie’s personal family collection, photographs, home tapes, archival images, and rare releases you’ll find some answers!
The Huntington's Disease Alliance, which brings together Huntington's charities from across the UK and Ireland, is delighted to welcome you to this very special free webinar. The webinar will last approximately 1.5 hours.
