Hello

Raymond...

Your interpretation was right on the mark and made for a very enjoyable showcase. Many thanks for sharing these folk song that otherwise might be lost to obscurity...and wouldn't that be a shame?

Peace,

Stewball

Thanks, Max. It certainly would. But I can't imagine Woody Guthrie's songs will ever be lost. There are a lot of people who want to keep his music alive.

Hi, Kwan. Yes, Woody used Lead Belly's famous melody for the tune in this song.

[raymondcrooke]

I know the feeling. Even when I don't go away I can't keep up with the people I'm subscribed to.

[raymondcrooke]

Well, his songs will be around for a long time to come.

Thanks, Marco.
