Susan Laney Spector

For twenty-eight years, I have been a member of the oboe section in the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra. I am a New York Mets full season-ticket holder. My site Perfect Pitch explores the intersection of Major League Baseball and playing for my own team at the MET. On my site Talking Leaves, I profile my progenitors and genealogical pursuits.

I have read a lot about Woody Guthrie, a distant cousin, but somehow I was not aware that he served in the Merchant Marines—like my paternal grandfather—during World War II. During that time he carried this fiddle. The next photo describes the stories behind what he burned into the instrument. This and other fascinating items from his career as a singer-songwriter, writer, visual artist, spokesperson for the oppressed, downtrodden, and exploited, patient, and husband and father are on display are part of the exhibit: “Woody Guthrie: People Are the Song.” If you’re in the New York area, go see it before it closes on the 22nd! @themorganlibrary @woodyguthriecenter @woodyguthrie #thismachinekillsfascists #ancestry #cousins
