Bound for Glory 2020
FSSGB is pleased to present a video celebration of 45 years of Bound for Glory shows -- our annual Woody Guthrie tribute show. Since we were unable to do the live show during COVID-19 pandemic, we assembled a collection of videos from past shows, along with a couple of new features. The show was done in the form of a YouTube "playlist" -- each song is a separate video, and there's a "menu" so you can see what's ahead and skip around if you like.
