The Long Memory

"He has recorded songs and stories with Rosalie Sorrels on a CD called The Long Memory (1996), originally a college project from Montana." The album was a college project? Utah Phillips attended school in Montana, or Rosalie Sorrels, or both? The songs are from Montana? Hyacinth 01:36, 12 Aug 2004 (UTC)

The Long Memory project was commissioned by a Montana college. Utah and Rosalie are a few years from student age. Also, Utah has repeated said that he was changed by his experiences in the Korean War, *and* that he joined the Army in 1956. Being a storyteller, he must be using his license to stretch the truth.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Dashford (talk • contribs) 21:12, 27 October 2005

They toured together

The section Career includes this sentence:

"Phillips was a mentor to folk singer Kate Wolf."

It should be mentioned that he was not only a mentor to her, but they toured together extensively in the early 1980s (and maybe earlier; I don't know).

I hope that someone knowledgeable about this can add it to the article.
