Edward Albert and his father Eddie Albert sat down to give an interview about the Martin guitar, Woody Guthrie had given to Eddie Albert in 1940 for all of the kindness that Eddie Albert showed to Woody and his family during their struggles in the late 1930s after arriving in California. The Interview took on its own life as the formalities fell away and Eddie and Edward both just fell into conversation and reminiscent stories.

This guitar was owned and used by Woody to write many songs that became folk music history. The guitar still bares Woody's name as he carved it onto the body as well as "This machine kills fascists". It was a great treat to hold this guitar as well as examine it.

Edward Albert, like his father, was also a very kind and gracious person. It was a pleasure knowing him for that brief time before his passing. I thought I would share this entire exchange between father and son because it was such a natural and organic afternoon in the pacific palisades... Enjoy all 4 parts!!
