Ginnieb....
I'm sure it will be on again, it was one of the "American Masters" series. Yes, Woody did write "This Land".

Sorry...I meant I wondered if Woody wrote it...
...apparently there are several versions of This Land is My Land..adapted to different countries...cool!
- This land is your land, This land is my land,
- From Bonavista, to Vancouver Island
- From the Arctic Circle to the Great Lakes waters,
- This land was made for you and me.
And for many other countries....very adaptable!

Love Pete Seeger...
...and would love to see that PBS show..I'll google it. Where Have all the Flowers Gone is so simple and yet so profound...it always gives me the chills when I hear it. This Land is Your Land also has a Canadian version...not sure if Pete wrote those too...I'm googling...

Lovely!
I am a fan of Pete Seeger and know his music well. He stood for so many things in the 60s and 70s and was an icon of 'protest music'. Cheers.
