We heard a great tribute to Woody Guthrie last Saturday from Mike and Ruthie, who were in town on their way to Sisters Folk Festival to perform with their band, The Mammals. If you're thinking about getting back to basics, it doesn't get mor basic than Woody's songs.

Here's what happened last week:

"August doldrums have struck but it wasn't a dull time for SSV PDX this afternoon. Four attendees watched a video clip featuring guitar walk-ups and walk-downs followed by demonstration and discussion. See the video here.

Then....

David Menzer sang the lyrics to 'I'm Already Falling' , a work in progress.

Deb Wesloh played a new song, 'Skeletons in My Closet', very humorous, and 'Zombies' by the Cranberries.

John Michael Smith played an original rock song, 'Sleepless Nights' and....

Ed Wales played 'Working Man Blues' and added a verse for the Working Woman, then played 'I'd Rather Drink a Hot Beer' by Dillon Carmichael.

Additional recommendations include: Watch and listen to 'Stairway to Heaven' by Nancy Wilson (Heart) at the Kennedy Center,

Now, what are you waiting for?
