“’Woody’s Children’ is a song that captures the spirit of the American folk revival….I’ve featured it on the anniversary of my folk series…(for which it was written and named), first using Doug’s homemade performance, then since 1984 the great singalong edition we taped in our auditorium with artists like Tom Paxton, Fred Hellerman and Susan Reed in the chorus….I like to think that whenever people sing ‘We are all Woody’s Children,’ they are not only saluting the Guthrie Tradition our program celebrates, but making the song itself a small part of that tradition.”

–Robert Sherman, long-time host of the radio show “Woody’s Children” on WFUV-FM and earlier WQXR-FM in New York City
