A photo from “My Name Is New York,” showing Woody Guthrie playing while he gets his shoes shined.

My name is New York, I’m a brick on a brick I’m a hundred folks running, and ten dying sick I’m a saint, I’m a sinner, a whore and her pimp Your ocean’s the mirror I look in to primp. —“My Name Is New York,” Woody Guthrie

"This Land Is Your Land" was written at a small rooming house on 43rd Street and Sixth Avenue on February 23, 1940, within a few days of his arrival.

Happy birthday, Woody Guthrie! (July 14, 1912)

A beloved and influential troubadour in the American folk tradition, Woody Guthrie was born in Okemah, Oklahoma and grew up in a rough, hardscrabble life. His mother suffered from Huntington's Disease and was committed to a mental asylum, while his father worked in Texas to pay off debts, leaving Guthrie and his siblings to support themselves. Guthrie had an affinity for music from a young age, and took to busking for money to pay for his family's needs. When the Dust Bowl hit, Guthrie joined many others from Oklahoma in migrating westwards, coming to Los Angeles, where he began associating with left-wingers and progressives. Guthrie embraced a humanistic, Christian-influenced socialism that would color his work for the rest of his life, and he began writing socially-conscious songs that would loom large in the American folk songbook. Guthrie came to New York City as World War II began and formed friendships with like-minded socialist musicians, chiefly among them Pete Seeger. Seeger and Guthrie formed a close partnership, and along with other left-wing folkies formed the Almanac Singers, which enjoyed some popularity among those who appreciated folk music. It was during this time that he wrote some of his most famous songs, including antifascist tunes such as "Tear the Fascists Down" and the subtly socialistic "This Land is Your Land." Guthrie served in the Merchant Marine during World War II, and after the war settled for a time on Mermaid Avenue in New York. Guthrie escaped the Second Red Scare largely unscathed, mostly because his health was deteriorating; he had inherited Huntington's from his mother. He was hospitalized from 1956 until his death from the disease in 1967. He left behind a legacy that continues to this day, having inspired and influenced artists ranging from Seeger to Phil Ochs, Joan Baez to Bob Dylan.

"Now, the bank men have got their union, and the landlords got their union, and the finance men got their union, but down south and out west, on the cotton farms and working in the orchards and fruit crops, it's a jail house offense for a few, common everyday workers to form them a union and get together for higher wages, honest pay, and fair treatment."
