7. Jeez...

Those songs remind me of being a little girl. Every summer we'd spend 3 months camping in Canada and my parental units and their hippie friends would sing all of those songs. Thanks for bringing back those memories! :toast:

3. The young man, and new DUer, who made this may not be a Guthrie

but watch it anyway. He gets it. I like to think Woody would approve.

8. Woody Guthrie was the Every Man

Edited on Mon Oct-13-08 12:46 AM by Whoa_Nelly

and I love the sign he pasted onto his guitar!

He brought hope to all, sang songs to speak for those who had no voice.

Woody Guthrie was a true hero.

I grew up listening the the Library of Congress record set of Woody, his songs and his stories.
An amazing man.
