Poetic Obituaries: The singer, songwriter, activist, historian,

storyteller and railroad tramp [Utah Phillips] died a little more than a week ago at his home in Nevada City, Calif. Though he spent a lifetime imparting stories, songs and poems to the multitudes that came to hear him play, he took with him all the bits that never got written down--what he referred to as "the long memory."

from Philadelphia Weekly: Utah Phillips, 1935-2008
