1. GREAT Crowd!

This is grassroots at work!

[bigtree]

3. they sounded amazing

...Martin organizing with his guitar, like Woody Guthrie.

[Raine1967]

5. I think you are correct! Funny you mentioned a Guthrie:

Bigtree, this time he is on a milk crate!

[bigtree]

9. perfect for his stand and efforts on immigration

...milk crate = safety hazard

[Raine1967]

15. Hah!

I was there, ready to help if needed!

[bigtree]

18. went out to my car to go to work last night

...first song on the radio was_ guess_ "This Land is Your Land!"

...made for you and me!

[Raine1967]

19. How coincidental!

That songs runs deep into my soul, always has from the time I was a kid and got to meet Pete Seeger on the hudson Clearwater river sloop.



I moved to the hudson VAlley in the late 1970's and it was a few years after that that we had a field trip to go on the clearwater. I was really young and Mr. Seeger was just a boat guy with a guitar.

2. every 4 years I wish that I lived in IOWA!

Candidates do come to my state.....but in Iowa they
come over and over again!

10. up close and personal

...Martin seems to be making the best of that opportunity, out of all of the Democratic candidates; likely a consequence of his smaller crowds, but not out of character for my former guv.

4. I've seen him perform a few times

he's good!

[bigtree]

11. very rooted in folk

...sounds like my favorite NPR radio days in my youth. Nice peaceful tunes full of humanity and joy.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

12. Must be the Irish heritage!

[bigtree]

14. yep, that's it exactly

...they would play Irish ballads on Sunday afternoon, right after the bluegrass hour, and I'd jam along with my guitar.

Music that's very much embedded in my heart and soul.
