Despite living in a hotel (which doubled as the town brothel) and being raised by a step-grandmother, he remembers these hardscrabble Depression years in Okemah as filled with adventure, memorable characters, curiosity, and love
"Okemah, Oklahoma, where Woody Guthrie once lived and wrote songs, was fighting for its existence in the late 1920s and early 1930s as the oil boom ended, cotton fell to ten cents a pound, and Prohibition was in force.
