Being in Maine reminded me of Utah Phillips as he used to have a show 
syndicated, Loafer’s Glory which was played on WERU in Maine.

A great show.

Utah was a train hopper was you can read about it above, as he did serve in the 
Military in in the 1950s.

He past away in 2007. He was well known in the folk music world, as we saw him 
once.  A character.

There is 28 shows on this website, as Tramping starts out with a poem.   It is 
show number 6, as there is another show about Tramping on this site. RR music 
in the background, as this show is about Hobos and RRs.  Allot of history about 
labor in the RR.  Allot of old RR songs and the hard times.

He has a show on baseball.

Utah is very well spoken.

I think some of you will enjoy his shows, especially the Tramping shows and the 
RRs.
