Here’s a story they’ll be able to tell their grandchildren.
Last Thursday, folk singer Peter Yarrow sang a couple of Woody Guthrie tunes for kids at the headquarters of the Bonneville Power Administration in Portland. Yarrow (of Peter, Paul and Mary) dropped by to see the agency’s memorial to Guthrie, who wrote more than two dozen songs for BPA back in 1941. Many of the songs have become classics, but the most famous of them all is “Roll On, Columbia.”
Yarrow was serenading children in the BPA’s day care program for employees.
