I learned so much about Woodie Guthrie. In 5th grade we had to sing his song "This Land Is Your Lamd" for a concert. This activity was so fun for me. I love his song " The Many and the Few!!!"

(Just like wigger) I had to sing "This Land is You Land" too in a concert so I already knew much about him. It is amazing that he didn't like the song"God Bless America" because hthat is a true American song, but people dislike many things.

I wish we had some of Woody Guthrie's music here at school! Then we could all listen to his work on the morning show. I guess I'd better go shopping so everyone at CMSW can learn more about this wonderful composer. Keep listening and learning!

Woodie Guthrie is very fascinating. I thought it was a little (okay,A LOT!!!!) eerie that all the people in his family who died were killed in a fire. Also, is it impossible yo write a thousand songs!?

I learned many things about Woody Guthrie. I learned that he was a free spirited man and just let life go how it was supposed to go and not try to change it. This was a great activity, and I hope to do another activity on a composer soon!
