Baby steps..

Today's Friday video is brought to you by the music in my head.

I heard this little tune sung by Arlo Guthrie quite a ways back in the day,so I just assumed he wrote it.
Turns out,and after no small amount of research,he had learned it from Pete Seeger.

Well there ya go!
Who doesn't recognize two of the most influential folk artists of our time?
..okay,..probably a lot of youngsters,but still,I'm trying to make a point here dammit!

Digging deeper into the genealogy of the thing,I discovered that it was in fact written by a guy by the name of David Mallett...never heard of him.

Even still,I'm pleased to let him speak for me.

'Inch by inch,row by row,
I'm gonna make this garden grow.
All it takes is a rake and a hoe,
and a piece of fertile ground
..

That's how we get things done kids.
A piece at a time,one day at a time.



The Lord loves a gardener!
