It may have been bone-chillingly cold outside for Alabama-born American actor and playwright Randy Noojin's tribute to folk musician Woody Guthrie to closes out the first half of Thompson's Home Routes season Nov. 22, but the kitchen party atmosphere at Tim and Jean Cameron's place at 206 Campbell Dr. heated up the night.
Noojin has been performing his Hard Travelin' With Woody, a one-man show, which had had its world premiere in the New York International Fringe Festival, since January 2011. Guthrie's best-known songs include the working class anthems "Bound for Glory" and "This Land Is Your Land," both of which Noojin performed last Friday night. The night wound up with a Hank Williams sing-along, with host Tim Cameron, a Thompson Folk Festival veteran from the 1980s, and local musician Russell Peters joining Noojin on acoustic guitars, with Carl Jensen accompanying on musical spoons.
