Anyone else notice that the US Post Office is using the Woody Guthrie tune, " Mail Myself to You" as the song in one of their commercials lately? Don't know who is singing it, but it's fun! Great choice of song, too.

Hi Sue, We've seen it many times and love it.

I first remember seeing that commercial during the World Series, so it's been running at least 2 months now.

it's John McCutcheon... I've seen him twice. He's great. He's tells really good stories and plays pretty songs. He wrote "Christmas Time in the Trenches" or something like that. He plays hammer dulcimer, guitar, banjo, piano, autoharp, mouthharp(i think), and he is a really pretty singer. the only song i've heard him on banjo is "i wish i was a mole in the ground" by Bascom Lamar Lunsford. It has a good story to go with it too.
