Program Notes:
This song has become a part of the familiar "folk song" cannon that somehow is entrenched in American culture. Although it was written by folk singer Woody Guthrie in the 1940's, it has evolved lyrically over the decades. Having been covered by many recording artists, it finally became an established patriotic favorite from the 1960's to the present.
