@Kelly from Brooklyn: The final song in the piece is “Pastures of Plenty,” written by Woody Guthrie and performed by Odetta. It is available on “The Greatest Songs of Woody Guthrie.” You can see the album here (http://www.amazon.com/Greatest-Songs-Woody-Guthrie/dp/B000000EBR)
I really enjoyed this birthday tribute - it's a great piece. What is the title of the very last song played in the segment?
Thank you!
A wonderful portrait of Woody, and of the extraordinary Guthrie Archive.
