Seeger and Guthrie. Although musically and lyrically, Arlo Guthrie's songwriting has steadily matured, I still think the best things he does are other people's songs: "Amazing Grace," "City of New Orleans," and "Percy's Song," for example. Perhaps playing with Pete Seeger will inspire him to do a longer set of his father's songs than usual. Seeger, as always, will probably have a parable or an inspirational thought to go with each number. Saturday, March 30 at Boston Music Hall, 8 p.m., $3.50-$5.50.

Jerry Jeff Walker. Ol' Jerry Jeff's routine of just being, heck, just ol' Jerry Jeff can be a mite wearing at times, but his songs grow on you. "Mr. Bojangles" is Walker's classic, but even on less distinguished tunes, you can count on some clever lines, a catchy melody and some good guitar playing. He is performing with B.W. Stevenson, whose "My Maria" was one of those forgettable songs you found yourself singing during economics lectures or unconsciously harmonizing with every time it hit your car radio. Through Saturday, March 30 at the Performance Center, 8 and 10:30 p.m.

Voss and McClatchy. Jane Voss and Debbie McClatchy are putting together an evening of folk and traditional music that will range from old Irish ballads to feminist and labor songs. Peter Johnson hosts, which means there's a free party for all afterward. Saturday, March 30 at the Joy of Movement Center, 8 p.m., $2.

Graham Nash. Nash always seemeda bit more intelligent than Crosby, Stills, or Young, perhaps because of his English accent, perhaps because his songs were a trifle less solipsistic, perhaps--given some of the interviews the three others did--just because he talked less. Anyway, he still writes pretty songs. Sunday, March 31 at Boston Music Hall, 8 p.m.

Amram and Walsh. Who can resist the chance to help a struggling young artist? I have never heard David Amram, but he is playing this weekend with Brock Patrick Walsh on second bill. Walsh resides in Adams House, which must be a lousy place to write rock, but he's been very well received in concerts at Harvard and Wellesley. Through Sunday, March 31 at Passim. Call 492-7679 for information.
