Part of Woody's Children.

Since January 1969 Woody's Children has aired the likes of Judy Collins, Odetta, Tom Paxton, Tom Chapin, Josh White, Jr., Peter, Paul & Mary, Pete Seeger and many other folk singers. The program is named for Woody Guthrie, the pioneering folk-singer and composer, and derives from Pete Seeger’s oft-quoted comment that most of the later performers and writers in the contemporary folk idiom are Woody’s Children.

The show was hosted and produced by Bob Sherman for 30 years on WQXR before the station decided it no longer fit its format. However, it did not die! Thankfully, Woody's Children was then picked up by WFUV where it can be heard to this day.
