MR. U. UTAH PHILLIPS
One of the most brilliant folk story tellers in the world. Utah Phillips is Americas best kept secret, and it's very unfortunate that more people aren't aware of him or who he is. He is notorious for telling stories that are longer than his songs, but no one complains as he is so genuine, warm, and has a great sense of humor. I can not rave enough about Utah and how great he is. If you ever see an album or CD by him, I highly suggest that you pick it up. Once the songs begin and the stories start unwinding, you'll wish you were by a camp fire with all of your friends. I was lucky enough to have met Utah, and a true honor it was, and it remains a highlight in my life. I am also glad that a cadre of my good friends were in attendance with me, it was a very special evening to say the least. This is a copy of an 8 x 10 glossy that Utah autographed for me.

Hawkeye turns his back to the whole affair.

Utah is writing down his address for me,
so I can send him some things I wrote.
