Amazing example of early location sync sound. Great music especially hearing Woody Guthrie playing with Brownie McGee and Sonny Terry. Jerhoshephat seems ignorant of what he was seeing..
@Jehoshephat our president is a white man...... president obama is white..... see i can be an ignorant too... u need to quite down and start readin n listenin... learnin... not teach.. until u reach a bit of knowledge
Lynching of Laura & Lawrence Nelson.In the event, no one was charged. Among those involved was Charley Guthrie, father of folk singer Woody Guthrie, who was born a yr later. Charley's role is uncertain but he appears 2 have attended as an observer or active participant, and he went on 2 become an enthusiastic member of the Ku Klux Klan. The incident was commemorated by Woody Guthrie in 3 songs, High Balladree, Bloody Poll Tax Chain, & Don't Kill My Baby & My Son, also called Old Dark Town.
Is that really Woody at the end? I had understood that there as only the one clip of him.

Unbelievable that this good, principled genius was dragged before the McCarthy inquisitors.

In reply to pancakewoman - the song at 6:20 is called What Wondrous Love is This. This a slightly different melody from what I've heard.

I met Pete Seeger in Chicago and he was still playing that same banjo 53 years later.

Pete Seeger's scope is amazing. Kinda shows though how he was still an outsider to Americana music... trying to discover it.
