It's fun to stumble upon really cool things when you're looking for something else. Like this old 1940s film starring Pete Seeger, with appearances by Woody Guthrie, along with bluesmen Sonny Terry and Brownee McGhee.
And written by Alan Lomax.
The problem with music today is we tend to remove it from cultural and historical context. The problem with that is we lose more and more sight of not only where we've been, but also of who we are.
Watch this, and start to get grounded a little.
