Thank you Woody Guthrie for being exactly who you were: a contradiction, poet, world-changer, rambler, hitchhiker, guitar slinger, a politician, comedian, radio-show host, country singer, folk philosipher, imperfect husband, imperfect father, friend to the weary, foe to the greedy, novelist, master story teller, writer of great love songs, topical songs, kid songs, funny songs, sad songs, blues songs, hillbilly songs, angry songs, nice songs, songs that changed this world. Thanks to you, I picked up a guitar myself and have learned the power of music. Happy birthday!
