POP/ROCK - Oct. 20, 1987

Twelve lost recordings of Woody Guthrie songs--four previously unpublished--now reside in the National Archives in Washington, ending a four-year search. The songs were among 26 that Guthrie wrote in 30 days while working in 1941 for the Bonneville Power Administration on “Columbia,” a film about the Oregon dam. The BPA recently sent the six acetate discs--one song to a side--to the archives to copy and sell in its souvenir shop.
