to guest7 august 06 5 04 pm   Woody guthrie was a fine songwriter, in my opinion he was only an o k singer and guitarist, your point doesnt seem to have much relevance, he might have been a beetter singer if he hadnt played an instrument, but that wasnt what he was about . what WOODY GUTHRIE[ correct spelling]was about was the social comment of his songs,and he was able to get that message across without being a great singer or instrumentalist virtuso,he had something important to say .
