Theme: Remembering Happy Traum (1938-2024).

Happy Traum – born Harry Peter Traum but known all his life as Happy – died on July 17 of cancer at age 86. 

Happy was a great guitarist, folksinger and songwriter known both for his solo work and for his partnership with his younger brother, the late Artie Traum. He was an important figure in the folk revival, from the early-1960s until his passing, as a performer, as editor for three years of Sing Out magazine, as a catalyst for many projects, and as a teacher. Homespun Music, the company run by Happy and Jane Traum, offers lessons in guitar and many other instruments in many styles taught by Happy and by many other great musicians.

Theme: A Salute to Nora Guthrie.

Nora Guthrie & Mike Regenstreif (2017)

Nora Guthrie – Woody Guthrie’s daughter – recently announced her retirement after 33 years as President of the Woody Guthrie Foundation and Woody Guthrie Publications. Nora was also the founder of the Woody Guthrie Archive and co-founder of the Woody Guthrie Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Prior to working with the Woody Guthrie Foundation, Nora had a career as a modern dancer – following in the footsteps of her mother, Marjorie Mazia Guthrie, who had been a member of the famed Martha Graham Dance Company.

Over the past 33 years, Nora was responsible for many Woody Guthrie projects including books, films, concerts, festivals and other events, and the unearthing of thousands of previously unheard Woody Guthrie songs that existed only as lyrics in the Woody Guthrie Archive. One of Nora’s greatest accomplishments was finding the right composers to set those lyrics to music. The songs on this show are just a small sampling of Nora’s work in that regard.
