Thanks to you, I picked up a guitar myself and have learned the power of music. Happy birthday! |

I didn't pick up the guitar because of Woody, but, musically, he's been a shining beacon for 40 years(and maybe a warning sign of what not to do in personal relationships). But all the same, I'd rather sing his songs than anybodies. The world would have been a poorer place without him. Mark Ross |

Happy Birthday Woody, and thanks for all the songs. |
