Six Strings That Changed The World

Bildergebnis für guitar kills fascists

A few days ago I saw a documentary about how the guitar affected music and history. Starting in the 20's of the last century when Woody Guthrie sung for the refugees in California with the machine that kills fascists over the folk scene in the 60's when Dylan first played electrical to Jimi Hendrix showed us the influence guitar had. And it ended in several revivals during the last decades when bands made music based on massive guitars. I take this to an occasion to feature some tracks from my younger days when the musical taste of many was focused on guitar slingers.

One Song Sung By Many

Bildergebnis für deportees

I was listening to Deporotee an old song by Woodie Guthrie the recent days and I was astonished how many artistes covered this song. Every version is great by itself and it makes me thinking that a good song cannot be destroyed by everyone. A story about underpaid workers brought back to their native country and died by an aircrash. Just another story about no named people died for working for our own prosperity. And when we listen to this song we have to watch what happens to borrowed workers from Eastern Europe. This song is as important as it was when it was released ages ago. This are the results of my investigations about this song. It is for your pleasure and enjoyment.
