His 'City of New Orleans' still is played plenty today!

Actually, his son Arlo sang City of New Orleans. Woody sang: This Land is Your Land-probably his most popular song. But he was a tremendous influence on a young Dylan and good friends with Pete Seeger. Thanks for reading Gershon

Thanks Tom. Yes he was. Dylan wrote a tribute song to Woody. I have played and sung some of his songs. Pete Seeger was also good friends with Woody.
