JOHN STEINBECK wrote "There is nothing sweet about Woody, and there is nothing sweet about the songs he sings. But there is something more important for those willing to listen." ...

Millard Lampell created the template for "Woody Sez" in 1956. He put together "CALIFORNIA TO THE NEW YORK ISLAND," a program of Woody's words and music performed as a tribute by a group of some thirty performers, players and pre-school dancers. Fifty-odd years later David Lutken, Nick Corley, Darcie Deaville, Helen Russell and Andy Teirstein weave Woody's songs together with excerpts and anecdotes from his books and the columns he wrote for the "PEOPLE'S DAILY WORLD" to create a concert narrative - a biographical, political, and personal portrait of one of the world's immortal troubadours.
