Happy 4th

We are on our way over to Rachel’s parents’ house to celebrate the 4th of July in just a few minutes, but I have enough time to share my latest masterpiece. Last Thursday I found the music to Woody Guthrie’s This Land is Your Land and decided it was easy enough to learn in time for the 4th. So here it is, This Land is Your Land.

I especially wanted to learn a few Guthrie tunes after reading that Woody penned the following words on a songbook he sent to listeners in the late 1930’s:

‘This song is Copyrighted in U.S., under Seal of Copyright # 154085, for a period of 28 years, and anybody caught singin it without our permission, will be mighty good friends of ourn, cause we don’t give a dern. Publish it. Write it. Sing it. Swing to it. Yodel it. We wrote it, that’s all we wanted to do.’

In the spirit of the quote above, I say the same about my recording, except I say it with a Creative Commons Attribution 2.5 license. Enjoy.

    Are you using Garage Band to get the overdrive. Or, do you have a pedal?
