You know it’s your land, don’t you? Cuz it is. Even when they’d like to convince you it’s theirs.

“Woody, the dust bowl refugee, was the group’s repository of proletarian wisdom, the ultimate arbiter of taste. He was impossibly arrogant, affecting a general air of impatience with the other Almanac Singers’ hopelessly urban, middlye-class sensibilities, rarely raising his voice but maintaining his authority with grunts, shrugs, and paralytic stares. He had the feeling of a loaded gun about him.”

- Joe Klein in Woody Guthrie: A Life

I’m currently reading Blind But Now I See: The Biography of Music Legend Doc Watson (it’s required reading for any future bluegrass wife); it’s a great book. If you ever need to get grounded in life, read a little about the great Doc.

Paranoia strikes deep. Into your life it will creep. It starts when you're always afraid. You step out of line, the man come and take you away

champagnetaste:

I heard this at the end of an episode of Mad Men a few weeks ago and was immediately drawn to it. There’s something completely wonderful about finding a chestnut by an artist you think you already know very well. The is the sound of New York City entering autumn. Keep hitting play and watch the leaves turn.

Pete Seeger performs "The Water is Wide"

The water is wide, I cannot get over,
And neither have I wings to fly,
Give me a boat that can carry two,
And both shall row - my love and I.

A ship there was, and she sails the sea,
She's loaded deep as deep can be,
But not so deep as the love I'm in,
And I know not how, I sink or swim.

I leaned my back up against some young oak,
Thinking he was a trusty tree,
But first he bended and then he broke,
And thus did my false love to me.

I put my hand into some soft bush,
Thinking the sweetest flower to find.
I pricked my finger to the bone,
And left the sweetest flower alone.

Oh, love is handsome, love is fine,
Gay as a jewel, when first it is new,
But love grows old, and waxes cold,
And fades away, like summer dew.
