=Woody Guthrie=

Woodrow Wilson Guthrie, born July 14, 1912 and known by most as "Woody," was best known for his song "This Land is Your Land." He was a folkster, traveling along throughout the West and learning new styles of music. Many of his songs are related to the economic depression our country suffered. It was once said that Woody could sit on his porch in Oklahoma and write a song a day. He didn't always agree with the direction our nation was headed and was commonly associated with communists. He was a musical legacy that his son Arlo, kept going. Woody was struck with Huntington's disease in the 1960's and died eventually in 1967.
