This weekly series will include as many of my all-time
favorite (ATF) tunes as I can get my grubby little hands on (so to speak). Now, each one included in each edition will
have some connection with the other—albeit only as a figment of my imagination,
but they will not be numbered. For I
just cannot bring myself to rate some higher than others. So, this will not be a countdown, but if you
are enjoying them as much as I do, it won’t matter. Besides, with no countdown, this could go on
forever and ever! Oh, and despite the
fact that there is absolutely no way that your musical tastes can be as
exquisite as mine, I welcome any suggestions you might dare to make. For I am, after all, quite magnanimous by
nature.

This Land is Your Land
Woody Guthrie
This land is your land
This land is my land
From California
To the New York island
From the redwood forest
To the Gulf Stream waters
This land
Was made for you and me
As I went walking
That ribbon of highway
I saw above me
That endless skyway
Saw below me
That golden valley
This land
Was made for you and me
I roamed and rambled
And I've followed my footsteps
To the sparklin’ sands
Of her diamond deserts
All around me
A voice was sounding
This land
Was made for you and me
There was a big high wall there
With a sign to stop me
The sign was painted
Private Property
But on the backside
It didn’t say nothin’
This land
Was made for you and me
When the sun come shining
Then I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving
And the dust clouds rolling
The voice was chanting
As the fog was lifting
This land
was made for you and me
This land is your land
This land is my land
From California
To the New York island
From the redwood forest
To the Gulf Stream waters
This land
Was made for you and me

I knew the first two verses of the Woody Guthrie song but don't recall ever hearing the rest of it
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, my dear Ann!!! There is even more to Woody's classic, which I edited out because of it not being included in this version
DeleteNow those are 2 songs I would have been hard pressed to remember...
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, my dear Shadow!!! Quite a contrast in styles--huh?
DeleteI've never been a big fan of Jimi Hendrix but I've always loved Woody and Arlo Guthrie.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, my dear Stephen!!! Arlo is scheduled to make an appearance here next week. Oh, and if you have not listened to Alice's Restaurant in while, you can catch it at the end of this: http://asthecrackerheadcrumbles.blogspot.com/2013/04/come-mondaymy-uncle-alice.html
DeleteCOMMUNIST!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, my dear Adullamite!!! Yeah, Woody most certainly went off of the deep end before it was all over with.
