Tracy, One of the great things about music is that it makes other people happy. I didn't know this until I began playing my keyboard at a local farmer's market, and suddenly discovered I could make people cry. This alarmed me at first, but finally an old English lady let me know that her crying was actually an expression of her inner appreciation, a much needed outlet for her inner being. So, I think you also know that. However, just in case you don't, let me tell you that your music creates a world of joy for so many people. Thanks.
Some say This Land Is Your Land should be the national anthem! Some say Freight Train should be too! You played both great! Your music should be in the Library of Congress right alongside Woody Guthrie and Elizabeth Cotton! You all are national treasures!
This land is your land should & ought to be the national anthem of the United States. I have called my Senators & Congressman suggesting it, but they didn’t and wouldn’t listen to me because they didn’t want to-Ty iCal Washington, DC insiders in the House & Senate that are overpaid.
I've been playing guitar my entire life. The Clawhammer style you're doing amazes me..... I don't think I've ever seen anyone play a guitar like this.... how did you come upon developing that. I absolutely love it!!!
I can't believe how music changed so much in the last few year, can't believe that people prefer to listen to the nowadays "music" instead of these astonishing pieces of art, even more so they reject it because "it's too old". Does music have an expiration date or something? No idea but for some people it seems does. Anyways I wanted to thank you a lot for doing and uploaded this, I can't stop singing along all the songs, there just so lovely and pure that I can't control myself hahah. Thank for being a great inspiration for me. Greeting from Argentina!!!!
@@tracynewman3256 Can't believe you did answer, hahaha you made this whole week feel a lot happier and brighter. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!!
I would urge anyone listening to this song to go immediately to Ry Cooder’s song “No Hard Feelings”. It’s amazing to hear the echoes of Woody Guthrie which run through this very modern folk song although, as Woody himself once said “I ain’t never heard any songs for horses”.
Well sung, however the song is missing a poignant verse of how peoples livelihood was taken from them due to the great depression. "In the shadow of the steeple I saw my people, By the relief office I seen my people; As they stood there hungry, I stood there asking Is this land made for you and me?"
Lol this song got really whitewashed. All of those verses are omitted from the common version. I grew up thinking this was an American pride song instead it was a critique of America.
Hi Tracy! Please, record a ''Freight Train'' video someday. It's one of my favorite songs! I would like to hear it in your voice! Greetings from a country/folk/blues fan from Brazil! God bless you!!
Mateus - I never recorded the song back then, and am not likely to do it now. I'm so sorry! I love the song so much, too. Thanks for watching this one!
@@tracynewman3256 I expressed myself poorly in my last comment. Sorry about my bad english! What i meant was: "you should post a youtube video singing freight train nowadays" 😄. Not necessarily a studio track, but a simple youtube cover video. Thanks for answer me!! Love all your performances
Hey, Stale... I did record Freight Train back then. I can't find it right now. I played it at the end of one of my segments, so you'd have to look at all my videos to find it! Sorry. I didn't label it. Go to my channel, and if you ever have time, look at all the videos from What's New. One of them ends with me doing Freight Train. Let me know if you find it!
Do you still think you would be able to play freight train? :) I have learnt a simple way of playing it but your way sounded so nice, I'm still very new to finger style guitar though. I've literally discovered your videos from one about the banjo and I fell in love with your voice, I wish I grew up with your videos you just seem to radiate this happiness that I can't really explain. I love that you were able to upload these videos ❤️
Thanks, Jim! I can still play Freight Train, but there are better ways. Like the writer of the song, Elizabeth Cotton, really plays it the best way. ruclips.net/video/g8UN_6AUgCw/видео.html She's a left-handed player, and the strings are strung for a right-handed player, so she's doing the chords upsidedown. Thanks for way you talk about my videos. I'm glad they bring you happiness!
@@tracynewman3256 I love Elizabeth cotton! There is a great live session of her songs on Spotify that I've listened when I got really into folk music. The amount of determination she must have had to learn the guitar is insane. Like, I have the internet and about 2793292 guitar teachers at the touch of a button, she would have had half the resources (and money) we have now :P I hope you're doing well (in these strange times) and thanks for the reply!
Thanks for the reply Tracy. I looked up Elizebeth Cotton and she is pretty amazing for sure. I can't believe that I never have come across her before. Her songs sound a little like Mississippi John Hurt to me. You did such a great job on those shows in 65. You were so professional It's hard to believe that you had no past experience of that type. The kids must of loved it I know I would of. I was born in 66. Thanks again Andy

@@tracynewman3256you should have done the last verse that ends with the question “is this land made for you and me?” It’s the verse that gives the song real meaning. Otherwise it’s just fluff.

I do look the same... just 60 years older.

Something about this reminds me of the Magic Garden from the 1970's.

Music represents the spirit of a time. Goes to show why the world is the way it is nowadays.
The most enjoyable version of this song that I've ever heard. (And I'm a life long Woody Guthrie fan)

I am so glad that I came across these videos. Was the second song a instrumental from Mississippi John Hurt?
No, it's "Freight Train" by Elizabeth Cotton. (Look that up! It's pretty amazing.)

To be fair, singing the missing lines probably would have gotten her investigated by the House Un-American Activities Committee.
