A couple years ago, Woody's daughter Nora invited singer/songwriter Jonatha Brooke to go through her father's unreleased lyrics to see if she could put any of them to music. This was one of the results of that posthumous collaboration. The tune isn't especially "Woody" sounding, but I really like the lyrics. It's cool to know that Woody was as passionate about his personal life as he was about his politics.

sorry guys, I've just woken up and missed all this...
I'm all over the place at the moment. Yeah, I was a day early, I actually did mean midnight Sunday night. I'll add these last few on to the playlist after the deadline actually finishes!!! shucks....contest still open for hours yet!!!!!
Think I was used to Christian's saturday night deadline and just went back there by default as the brain has been coasting in neutral for some days, sorry for the confusion folks, but it IS midnight tonight
Do I get a prize for being the first contest holder to stuff up the deadline twice in a comp that only goes for a week? Also the record for having more posts about the deadline than entries? He he.....

Nice choice, J-Peg. It's like Guthrie's "I'm Sexy and I Know It". A little more sweet, though. Especially your version.

Found some time today to record a song for Woody Week. I'm one of the ones who thought the deadline was midnight tonight (Sunday).

I'm just not gonna be able to make the deadline. Been having a lot of fun playing one of my favorite children's songs all week though. "Froggy Went a Courtin'" I was going to do the full Woody version with the "Hey, hey, hey's." I just can't find the energy though. There were 9 little girls over hear last night for my 9yr old's b-day party. They left around 10am today.
Good luck everyone!
Can I still enter next week?

Thanks Sillydave
This is a cool competition, learned a ton so far,
I like these competitions
because I dont really know how to express it clearly
but that instead of lurking in the forum and making the odd comment
This competition helps me feel more involved and invested in this community.
Thanks again.

Thanks ukuloonie! Yes~it's warming up~spring is on the way. Let's hear it for breakup! It's just that we got SO much snow this winter (2nd snowiest on record) it'll be awhile before it all melts away. Hope there won't be too much flooding.

wow you guys, this is just wonderful watching all these clips. Woody would be proud I have no doubt. So many great songs here. Shucks...this judging caper...I have no idea how Christian, Alice and Mim waded through 30+ entries each week. It feels like a bigger challenge to sort them than the challenge itself...he he. Anyway, just awesome folks, just awesome.

Thanks ukeleledaveey~ You did a nice song as well -I thought it was perfect for your style of playing. You have a great strumming style.
The banjolele isn't for everyone. But I do a lot of folk and old-timey music and some country songs just sound good with a banjo. Someday I'll learn to play clawhammer style.
