Damn.. didn't see that show. Sounds pretty interesting though. I wish I had cable just for the History Channel.. and Comedy Central perhaps.. damn, that cartoon channel is great too.

In any case, I have nothing but praise for the foresight of people working to preserve older recordings. Or just working to preserve music in general.. I just picked up that "Sounds of the South" collection of recordings by Alan Lomax.. that's just priceless.. on the other hand, I can't help but wonder how much good stuff Lomaz didn't hear. Heartbreaking.

Did that alt version of "this land is your land" have different lyrics or was it just a different cut of the song?

Come to think of it, I heard an NPR interview with Pete Seeger and he played those verses. I seem to remember the "private property" verse, but not the stuff about unions. Yeah, tape that for me if you get the chance. I'll trade you it with something..
