...leathery old horseman rose in the stirrup, turned and boomed over his shoulder. "There's a stage coming in!" Very good, approved Director Joshua Logan. There were cheers from a watching cluster of stars, extras and technicians, for that eight seconds of flawless acting was turned in by none other than Oregon's Senator Wayne Morse. Seems Morse was seated next to a movie executive on a recent plane ride, who suggested the Senator would make the perfect saddle man for a bit in a new film, Paint Your Wagon.

Though each concert was supposed to have its own unifying theme none came off as compositions, as coherent moments save the Guthrie tribute, which was extraordinary in its beauty--and that was because Woody's friends and son succeeded in bringing him to life: and he was an extraordinarily beautiful man and brilliant poet of America...
