I wanted to take a shot at this too, so here’s my demo. It was really just half an idea and then singing it so i remembered it tomorrow, but i like how it turned out.

updated to a slightly less impromptu version

It’s another kitchen table production!

Aww, man. My cousin's youngest just turned one; his name is Arlo. I never axed my cousin if they named him after Arlo Guthrie, but I guess in the back of my mind I always assumed they probably considered that when they named him. "This Machine Kills... Fascists." written in Sharpie marker on Woody Guthrie's acoustic guitar.

Cool! Missed this one. How's things on the west coast of Eire?

Was not Woody Arlo's dad? I am not as familiar with Woody Guthrie's body of work,homework for me then,this is cool.

Big fat fave. Love this, Stu - your voice sounds awesome (and I love those low down dirty notes especially!).
