Subject: RE: Woody third but Judy triumphs
I'm not sure if Woody coming third is a "good thing" or not. A while ago I met a couple of girls singing "This Land" and asked them if they know who wrote it. No, we got it from a book. Do you know the other two verses. No. Do you know what the song's really about. No. People consider it some kind of national anthem rather than a song of protest. I'm sure if the "shadow of the steeple" and the "private property" verses were well know it woould not have passed into kids' song books and would never have made it. A good thing too??Dr John
