The assertion that Sonny Terry played the harp on most of Woody Guthrie's 
recordings comes as a surprise to me.  He played on~some~ but I've always 
thought that in most cases it's Woody.  If you listen to the Library of 
Congress recordings, when it's definitely Woody, then compare the style 
there to that used in the same songs on other collections, it sure sounds 
like the same guy.....
