I celebrate May 15, Utah Phillips' birthday. For the last two years I've been researching and writing about Utah. This year marks the 91st anniversary of his birth.
My first guest is his old and dear friend Mark Ross. Utah met Mark in Greenwich Village in 1969, and they remained friends until Utah's death in 2008. Mark shares trivia and remembrances about Utah with us.
My second guests is Utah's younger son Brendan. Brendan shares memories of his father as well as details about an exciting project he's working on. He's currently restoring Utah's old flanger car, transforming it into the Utah Phillips Library.
