The five arias recorded with a 34-piece orchestra and award winning opera singers is available on CD plus three bonus tracks ... live performances of songs planned for the completed opera about the day Woody Guthrie wrote his legendary song, This Land Is Your Land. 

On February 23, 1940, the world is at war. Nations are in the midst of a global economic meltdown, Hitler has been slaughtering millions of people, and influenza is killing millions more. The midwest of America has being crippled by climactic changes that make “global warming” seem like a bad breeze, displacing hundreds of thousands of families into California for jobs promised but never realized. 

Meanwhile, a troubled songwriter hitchhikes across America trying to make his way 
home ... and on a dangerously cold, lonely day in Pennsylvania he began writing one 
of the greatest songs of the 20th century. 

This is an opera about the day Woody Guthrie wrote “This Land Is Your Land.” 

2012 will be the centennial celebration of Woody Guthrie, America's Most Revered Folksinger.

Woody: For the People is an opera of soaring melodies and an exciting full orchestra. It is the story of a down-and-out folksinger who journeys across America to find, not just his country, but himself. It is about an honest anger of wanting a better life for his kids, his friends and the common people he meets on the street.

Woody: For the People is the story of two legendary American songwriters, Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger, and the unyielding bond of friendship, bound in a tapestry of glory and music. Ultimately, it is about the very people Woody's songs were about. It's about our friends, our neighbors, our communities, our hometowns. It's about You, and Me. The opera is not about politics or political ideals, it is about the uncompromising passion of spirit that one little man had for an entire nation, for an entire generation ... all revealed in one little song.

The opera is set on a single, historic date: February 23, 1940, the day Woody Guthrie wrote "This Land Is Your Land" as a response to Irving Berlin's popular tune "God Bless America."

Woody: For the People will use a traditional symphony orchestra to employ innovative treatment of the string section to replicate the sound of Pete's banjo and other instruments.

(By Karrie "Jesse Manzanita" Wallace & Juli Palmer (c)1999. 
We wrote this song about 6 months into Julia Hill's famous two year "tree-sit". (1998-1999) We sent a cassette copy of the song up to Julia and were so happy to receive a phone call from her one evening, from "Luna"! (as the ancient redwood tree was named). We sent copies to local radio stations & it got a lot of airplay. It became a sort of "anthem" that radio hosts would play before interviews with Julia, up & down the west coast and in other various broadcasts worldwide. 
  It is performed by Karrie Wallace (aka Jesse Manznaita) using over-dubbing of vocal and guitar tracks. Recorded at Sappho Studios in 1998.
 This song was subsequently used as Theme & Background music in a full-length documentary entitled: "Butterfly" by San Francisco based filmmaker, Doug Wolens. Which has aired on POV and in many theaters worldwide.

Lyrics under 
Baby, be the Neiman to my Marcus 
The vulture to my carcass 
Web to my charlotte 
Maybe be the buyer to my product 
Bae I'm higher than a home run 
Kinda bored can you throw some 

Pick up a package for like four tons 
Sick of people standing with their hands out "can i hold some"
M-maybe I can rip you up a new one 
And if you hating then let's do some 
I been waiting for a chance son 
Like you hanging off a cliff I tell you baby can you hold 
But you don't like that 
In a hell of your design so maybe just throw up a white flag 
Said you had some hunnids but we callin that a light stack 
And i need a big bag 
And I need a reason to not smoke up on this whole pack 
FBI ain't play my music so I'm sending people anthrax 
Oh if you holding can you prove it 
And if we fighting then let's do it 
We on some what you wanna do shit 
Bro pass me the strap and I'm like how the fuck I use this
Feel like Kodak Black the way I'm only a suburbs kid 
And if she throw it back then I promise I'm gonna lose it 
That's just how it goes now 
Pulling out my opal card I use it as a snowplow 
They know I only pop out when the hoes out 
And I won't let no hoe get her hands up on my eyebrows 
Damn bitch can I hang out with my guys now 
I don't want these shawties always chilling up in my house 

Baby, be the Neiman to my Marcus 
The vulture to my carcass 
Web to my charlotte 
Maybe be the buyer to my product 
Bae I'm higher than a home run 
Kinda bored can you throw some

This is the soft side of Fissure ( http://soundcloud.com/tadeo ) where on the other side hard beats reside. 

   M​usic & creativity runs in my family. My dad, singer & entertainer Jerry Wallace hit it big in the '50's & ''60's with songs like "Primrose Lane", How The Time Flies, In the Misty Moonlight & more... His career spanned decades, recording well over 20 albums. 

    My Stepfather, jazz pianist, composer & arranger Dennis Michaels, has also been a huge influence on my musical direction. He has worked with Fred Travalena, Florence Henderson, to name a few & most recently has toured, recorded & arranged with the legendary singer, Keely Smith.

     I have played with the duo known as "The Fabulous Bluejayz". Also with Wallace & Phines (duo). Others I have played with, Stephen Phines, Mike McClaren, Dave Hinz, Tami Pallingston & Nalini Cogswell & Pete Dyszczakowski. I have recorded 6 CD's, most notably "Treehugger" which includes the hit song, "Julia Butterfly Hill, Are You Up There Still?" The song is featured as theme & background music in the full-length documentary, "BUTTERFLY", that has aired on POV/PBS & has been screened in numerous theatres worldwide.
   
I'm a Songwriter, guitarist. singer, harmonicas. There is something spiritual about the creative process. I feel that the songs are gifts from the creator and once finished it's as if they were always there.

I switch between styles, folk, jazzy lounge & blues.  My instruments: Yamaha FG345, Fender Strat & Harmonicas.

I record all of my material on an old Roland 880EX, which is powered by the sun since I live completely off-the-grid.  Hope enjoy my music! :)

"Take the inventiveness of Bob Dylan, the melodic voice of John Denver, add the showmanship of Garrison Keillor and that's Michael Johnathon." - Bob Spear , Publisher, HEARTLAND REVIEW

Michael Johnathon is a folksinger, songwriter, concert performer, author who created and hosts the worldwide broadcast of the WoodSongs Old-Time Radio Hour with a radio audience with over a million listeners each week on 500 public radio stations, PBS-TV coast-to-coast plus American Forces Radio Network in 173 nations. Michael is also a playwright ... his play Walden: The Ballad of Thoreau has over 9,000 registered performances in 42 countries and translated into four languages.

His latest CD release is "MyCOVERS" (download the one sheet PDF) and his fifth book, "WoodSongs 5 was release in 2024.

This 'Woody Guthrie in a Cyber World' grew up in upstate New York along the shores of the Hudson River. At 19 years old, he moved to the Mexican border town of Laredo, Texas and found a job working as the late night DJ on a small radio station. One night, he played 'Turn, Turn, Turn' by the 60's folk rock group The Byrds. As the song played, he recalled seeing the songs writer, his neighbor Pete Seeger, performing in his Dutchess County hometown in New York. By the time the song had ended, he decided to pursue a career as a folksinger.

Two months later, he bought a guitar and a banjo and settled into the isolated mountain hamlet of Mousie, Kentucky. For the next three years, he traveled up and down the hollers of the Appalachian mountains knocking on doors and learning the music of the mountain people. Michael experienced hundreds of front porch hootenannies where folks would pull out their banjos and fiddles, sit on their front porches with him and play the old songs that their grandparents taught them.

Soon enough, he began performing concerts at hundreds of colleges, schools and fairs. He performed two thousand Earth Concerts, plus benefits for the homeless, farm families, and shelters helping battered women and children. In all, he sang to over two million people in one four-year stretch. Billboard Magazine headlined him as an "UnSung Hero." He has been featured on CNN, TNN, CMT, AP, Headline News, NPR, Bravo and the BBC
