The Grammy In Mathematics

Posted by kdawson on from the woodie-rides-again dept.

An anonymous reader writes "A mathematician will receive a Grammy award for restoring the only known recording of a live Woody Guthrie performance — a bootleg someone made in 1949 using a wire recorder. Guthrie's daughter, who had never heard her father perform in front of a live audience, oversaw the restoration. The article links very cool before and after clips."

    Forget suing the mathematician. Re-open the Nuremberg trials. After listening to that recording my ears are bleeding!
