That’s in my top 50 ever list. That leaves 49 to cover the entirety of musical history. It’s not too often that someone selects a record from my lifetime top 50 collection!!! That song dominates!!

Dear @Green.Lantern (and anybody else reading this),
First, if I had known this list was technically for you, GL, I would’ve brought better songs! :see_no_evil: Since you’ve popped in recently, tho, and I remember you mentioning Woody Guthrie quite a few times over the years, I have something special for you (should you see it)! It’s going to come with a story, too…

(Wait. Gotta go get one of my fave gifs, first :stuck_out_tongue:)

cat-cat-reading

Anyone here who knows me, knows that I came from a multi-generational/multi-cultural home, so I tend to have all sorts of strange references and am nostalgic for things I have absolutely NO business being nostalgic for :laughing: but I am! And this is a prime example.

I had begged for a guitar for years, and when I was about 12, I finally got one. I was hoping for an electric by then, because a rebellious streak was beginning to show, but I was thrilled either way, and in the end, was gifted an acoustic. One day, an uncle of mine told me that ā€˜I didn’t need an amp to dissent or tell the truth’ and handed me a cd. It was Woody Guthrie (and Memphis Minnie). It definitely changed some things for me, and ever since, every guitar I own—hell, even my laptop and banjo has :point_down: this saying somewhere on it (that’s a pic of my first :guitar: btw)

So! For you, I have both personal faves and the first songs of theirs I ever learned, when I was but a wee lass. :dancer:t2: Plz enjoy.

Ps. There’s something about Hal mowing Supes down with a tank that amuses me deeply. :face_with_hand_over_mouth: I’m glad you enjoy it too!! :green_heart: Great to see you, btw!

Sorry I had to read as soon as I saw ā€œI’m a huge fan of Woody Guthrieā€ , there was no minding my own business after that, like I usually do lol…

Thank you for sharing that, I love that story! My dad has always liked country and so I have I, so I think that’s how I got into liking Woody Guthrie. I had a little high school graduation party with family and the one CD I played was one of his. :stuck_out_tongue: I also put on All in the Family for us to watch, for some reason?
