March 17, 2000 • Austin, Texas

Jimmy, Mary Jo Edgmon Guthrie & The Red Dirt Rangers
@ South by Southwest2000

Jimmy was joined by rock critic Dave Marsh, label-mate Michael Fracasso, and Oklahoma music writer and Blue Door proprieter Greg Johnston for the South by Southwest panel discussion "Made for You and Me: Woody Guthrie's Dust Bowl Legacy."

Filling out the list was none other than Woody's sister, Mary Jo Guthrie Edgmon, from Okemah, Oklahoma, who stole the show and all our hearts with her remembrances of Woody.

After the panel the whole group went out for some Texas Bar-B-Q at the world famous Iron Works.

Here's what the Tulsa World and the Austin Chronicle had to say about it.
