“At Sea Going Home” (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In March 1944, Woody Guthrie wrote “Remember the Mountain Bed,” one of his most Walt Whitmanesque lyrics. It is a song I have returned to many times over the years, and one that has always been a highlight whenever I’ve heard it in concert. It hits right at the solar plexus as it collapses the distance between love and loss and memory and promise into nothingness. The song also had a major impact on my connection to Guthrie and how he could make a nine-stanza song seem like it could be infinite
