Can anyone point me to anything, new or out-of-print? Also, who would anyone suggest to play Woody in a film if it were made today? How about the other major characters in a story like his? Who would play Pete? Leadbelly? Cisco Houston? Fire away... have fun! FG |

The other, of "John Henry," with Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee, is already on YouTube." Ranger's Command John Henry |
