  • Bio

    My Oughta-Biography: I was born July 10th 1947 in Coney Island, Brooklyn, NY with a guitar in one hand and a harmonica in the other. I have successfully foiled every opportunity to be somebody in the entertainment industry. I've done about 30 records, a few motion pictures, a TV series, a book for little kids, started a few recording and production companies and two not-for-profit foundations. I've been in jail and I've been in love. I've been to almost every place except Newfoundland, and I hope to get there soon. I know every road and trail worth taking here in the US, including Alaska and Hawaii. I've spent over 40 years on the road discovering the rest of humanity and I'm still not proud or tired. I've made some friends along the journey and figure there's a few more yet to meet. I am happy to share what I don't know with anyone who doesn't expect anything from me. No judgement - no expectations. If you run with me you come at your own risk. I have no interests, hobbies, or goals except to outrun the truth that shadows my every move.

    Some folks are writing with questions, booking info, stuff requiring responses. You can't really get them through Myspace. If you need help or need to relay important information please contact real living human beings at Rising Son Records [info@risingsonrecords.com] or it may not get to me. Also, if you're one one of those folks sending promotional materials through Myspace, don't bother sending it here. At best it'll just get ignored, at worst you'll be blocked. For me this is just a great way to personally get to know and exchange greetings with real people. I won't do any business, send self promoting notices, tell you who is great or who to vote for, or search for the secret(s) of life through Myspace. Don't misunderstand, I would do all those things if I had the time or the interest, and have no problem with folks who want to use Myspace for those purposes. I just don't have a way to handle all that and still work for a living... Thanks for listening.... adg

    To all our friends out there all over the USA and all over the world - We are thankful for this moment, this day and for the memories we've shared. Our hope is for the future that we actually get somewhere farther down the road to a more peaceful world. We are thankful for all those who make the effort toward that end. A little more justice, a little more food and clothing where needed, and a little less judgement and suspicion toward our neighbors would be so welcome in this troubled world of ours. There is enough sorrow in this world even in the best of times without having to add to it... Much Love from our entire Guthrie Clan to all of you reading this today... adg

    Dear Friends,

    This morning, Otc. 14th, Jackie left her body surrounded by her family and a few friends. She called us to her about 3 this morning to let us know she couldn't fight any longer. She was at peace with the life and dreams we shared together for almost 45 years. We stayed at her bedside through the morning until about 11:45 when she gently breathed her last breath. She will remain in our hearts and memories as she does for many of you. Thank you for your prayers and notes… With Love, adg

    We are leaving her page here for a while so that her many friends will know what a rich and wonderful life she had..."
