Jimmy LaFave Legacy

Well, if Woody Guthrie said it, it is worth repeating and Jimmy LaFave used to repeat this quote often. What is your favorite from Woody Guthrie?

WOODY SEZ ~ "There never was a sound that was not music - There's no real trick or creating words to set to music - once you realize that the word is the music and people are the song." (excerpted from a 1943 notebook entry)

Always a favorite cover version by Jimmy LaFave that he would credit his friend Abby Goldstein with putting on the map from her spins on her radio station in Dallas, Texas.
