Walkin' Down the Railroad Line

from KTEP radio broadcast of 14 July 2007
Zoomer Roberts: vocal & Harmonica
Buddy Winston: guitar
Bob Burns & Gene Keller: banjo, guitar, vocals

This is from a KTEP broadcast commemorating what would have been Woody Guthrie's 95th birthday. It was a loose affair, with everybody playing on everyone else's songs. I particularly enjoyed doing this obscure ditty from Woody's 1940 Library of Congress recordings. Its construction is ideal for a hootenanny, which this certainly was.
