I know that Kimberly and I have "explored" Geer to this depth before, so it wouldn't surprise me if she/we posted things about Woody....

Have you ever seen the movie "Bound for Glory" with David Carradine as Guthrie ?  One of my favorites, probably because it's one of the few about that era of folk music....

[nedandres]

No, I haven’t. I will need to check it out. David was also in “Kung Fu,” which I think ran against the Waltons at one point.

I have the book Bound for Glory, which the movie is based on.
I like what Pete Seeger said about Guthrie in the Prologue: 
 "Any d--- fool can get complicated. It takes genius to attain simplicity."
 The deceptive simplicity of his songs added to his worldwide appeal.

That's a great quote. And to be simple with such eloquence!
