I do a lot of updating, amending, and appending. In fact a critic once said that "it's usually impossible to tell where the original song left off and Steve's began." I take that as a compliment. After all, isn't that what we like to call the folk process?

Here's one more example.

--- Steve

-------------------------

"Roll On Columbia"
Original song by Woody Guthrie © 1941 (with music adapted from "Irene Good Night" by Leadbelly)

New final verse by Stephen L. Suffet © 1996, 2001

Well, the years have rolled by since Woody wrote this song,
You might take it right, and you might take it wrong,
But the Columbia River keeps rolling along,
It's roll on, Columbia, roll on!
