Woody’s New Year’s Resolutions 1942

This came from the American Songwriter Magazine via Aynsley Powell. I have to admit that it's hard to improve on Woody Guthrie's New Year's resolution list from 1942.

I particularly like Save Dough (yeah, right) and Make Up Your Mind. Stay Glad - now that's just perfect. Play and sing good. Says it all. Learn People Better. I mean...... Wake Up And Fight!!!! You have to be a warrior - right?

Hope you can read the words in the photo of Woody's book. Oh and check out the accompanying drawings. Folks took a little time over things back then. Gotta like that.

Happy New Year Everyone!
