Would greatly appreciate session details (recording dates and matrix/take numbers)
for the 1940 Victor Woody Guthrie recordings.

Also, I've listed the various releases of the recordings - for some I have little or questionable
information.  If you have any corrections or additions, please update this list.  THANKS!

Best wishes, Thomas.
