agreed as to Cisco's greatness.
Comparing him to Woody?
I dont know,I am no critic.
I love them both,and as you said am glad they are still heard.

thank God that this man is being heard...he was always overshadowed by Woody only because of Woody's celebrity, but he far outshines Woody with his absolute true folk expression - seldom will you ever hear him with any other accompaniment than his guitar. He is trulya folk legend!
