Folksinger, Storyteller, Railroad Tramp

Utah Philips passed away in his sleep just before midnight on May 23.

Last time I talked to him, he was like, Yeah, we should shoot the shit again sometime soon. Or was it Chew the fat? That was a long time ago, I guess. Memorial service is on Sunday in Nevada City, California.

Here's Utah's website...   And on Youtube...   Hallelujah I'm a bum!

A loss to all, and another step away from an important musical tradition of music and activism.

We were sad all day. We almost named our 2 year old Utah because I love him so much.
