Also THANK YOU SO MUCH! I have been trying to find this song for, who KNOWS how long and now I found it! THANK YOU!!

[raymondcrooke]

Yes, it will be three years next January. I'm glad I could help you find this great song.

[SirCoughsalot]

That's the tune of East Virginia Blues, isn't it?

[raymondcrooke]

Possibly. It's not quite the tune I use, but Woody normally borrowed traditional tunes for his songs

[coolanddark]

Woodrow Wilson Guthrie was a hero of the working man and folk music lovers world round. Thank God Pete Seeger Brought Woody`s stuff to the forfront! Outstanding Raymond!!!

[raymondcrooke]

Thanks, Dan. They were both great men.

[Tony2581]

Raymond --- Thanks for posting not only your fine version of "Ludlow Massacre" but also the historical account of the strike and massacre. Coal miners have always had to fight for everything they get, even today... Best wishes, Tony

[raymondcrooke]

Thanks, Tony. Keep up the good work. They need people like you in China too!

1st agen hahahahaha lol

You are getting better and better with the guitar by every video - real pro

[raymondcrooke]

Thanks for your comment. I see myself as more of a singer than a guitarist. my playing is pretty basic.
