1. I saw him do a whole Guthrie tribute in NOLA
Jazz Fest 2006.

It was wonderful. Thanks for posting this.

2. I almost passed this by because of the whole 80's ripped off sleeve thing.
I'm glad I took a moment to listen.

It really is a beautiful rendition.

3. I know.
Some people at Jazzfest were really disappointed.

They wanted to hear Springsteen be Springsteen.

But the whole thing was really heartfelt and I am glad you have discovered it.

5. And I love that pic of the Edwards. Their love and devotion radiates from it,
Beauty inside and out is so rare.

They got it.

7. "This Land was Made for You and Me". A blessing. But also a burden?
And maybe an indictment, even?

The suffering of our neighbors IS our problem.

Or, at least, it SHOULD be.

This Land is OUR land.
