I talked to Sonny about these things in his art and he tells me that he is blind and that he still knows that his people can see a world where we all vote, eat, work, talk, plan, and think together and with all of our smokes and wheels rolling and all of our selves well dressed and well housed and well fed. These are the things that the artist in Blind Sonny Terry knows and sees in his blindness.

Woody Guthrie
