Woody Guthrie Festival in Okemah, Oklahoma kicks off Wednesday July 14th with Arlo Guthrie.
Stoney LaRue headlines Thursday night, Ellis Paul -  Friday and Jimmy LaFave Saturday night.  
The poetry reading takes place Saturday July 17th at 1:00 PM at the Methodist Church 202 North
Third Street at 1:00 - 2:00 We'll take a break and come back at 3:00 - 4:00. Great music, great
poetry, great festival. Pick up an anthology of poetry while you're at the festival.


Hard at work on the fourth volume of poetry tentatively titled
Oklahoma Cantos , hoping for a late
summer early autumn release. I'm scheduled to read at The Latter Branch of the New Orleans
Public Library at 5120 St. Charles Ave. with Sandra Soli, David Bradsher, Maggie Wilkie and Chuck
Ladd and The Performing Arts Studio in Norman, Oklahoma for the second Sunday in October
2010 should have the book by then. My buddy, Chuck Ladd again will be reading from Howard
Starks'
Family Album at 1:00 PM just before I come on and make a mess of things. Make plans to
catch us at The Depot as it's often called there in Norman or in New Orleans in July.



                                        
Here's a great write up in The Durant Daily Democrat Sunday December 6th. My head has been
swollen ever since the article ran. Tiara Blue did an excellent job. Only my own communication
skills left a need for a couple of corrections. My wife Jane and son Matthew somehow don't get
the recognition they deserve. My most excellent publisher Jim Furber at TJMFPublishing isn't
mentioned and he's chiefly responsible for all my books in print so far. My scholarship offer was
at Carl Albert JC rather than Southeastern, but I like the idea of a SE Baseball scholarship so I
may keep that.
