Woody Guthrie as a country singer is an interesting
notion. I attended a panel discussion in Ford theater
at the CMHOFM which focused on Woody Guthrie. Arlo
was present as were Arlo's children. Robert Oermann
made very insightful comments about Woody Guthrie as
a country singer and his significance in the country
music tradition--by far the most focused comments of
any of the panelists on the intended theme. If Robert
Oermann subscribes to this list, his comments would
be worth having posted. I think Oermann's comments
could clarify the entire Guthrie thread.

Best wishes,
James Akenson

(Editor's note: Robert Oermann does not subscribe to
H-Southern-Music, but if anyone knows how to contact
him, please forward him this message. Thanks!)
