About this listen
In the latest episode of Wisdom of the Elders, recorded at NERFA 2016, host Sonny Ochs and co-host Susan Forbes Hansen gather a panel featuring Tom Paxton, Nora Guthrie, and Noel Paul Stookey.
The discussion covers Paxton's career and songwriting journey, his views on the term 'legend,' and reflections on the movie 'Inside Llewyn Davis.' They explore Woody Guthrie's legacy, Nora Guthrie's preservation efforts, and the opening of the Woody Guthrie Center. Throughout our panelists emphasize the role of folk music in self-expression, addressing social issues, and fostering a sense of community. The speakers share personal experiences in the New York music scene, discuss the impact of musicians like Peter, Paul, and Mary, and highlight the contributions of figures such as Len Chandler, John Brent, and Luke Askew. Throughout, the episode explores the essence of folk music as a celebration of singing for the love of it.
