Woody was Woodrow before he was woody. He was certainly pithy.

I have a friend whose family is from Okemah, Oklahoma. He said there was a sign in town that mentioned Woody Guthrie but it was blown down and he didn't think it was ever put back up. Anyone been to Okemah recently?

My friend has some relatives still living there but he was born in South San Francisco. His folks came out West during the Great Depression, during the "dust bowl days"
