  • Absolutely beautiful Doc. I will gladly throw my hat along side Mr. Eugenes...Something I see, as entirely American, and yet, it seems our good Mr. Guthrie is indeed universal. Thanks for this.

  • @boweewowee Thanks, folks...yes, Guthrie is indeed universal. And though the song is about something that happened in America almost a hundred years ago; today similar things happen throughout the world. The song never goes out of style.
