That's the beauty of folk. The writer - doesn't matter, it's about the message. :-)

this is one good man he helped save the hudson river here in ny state.He's 90 now.I heard on the radio they had a party for him with bands like bruce springsteen.He must have been at woodstock he lives not too far away

[NanaJana1946]

One of my favorites - for sure!

What could be more American than Pete's voice??

I'd find myself humming this song in the morning as I'd enter my classroom for another day of planting seeds and nurturing.

@fgouveiapa not sure, but maybe you mean the song 'Nicaragua Nicaraguita'? Sounds like a song Seegers would sing if you ask me.

I think Arlo sings it on the vinyl says he's gonna sing the front line -- Pete's good at that but he's not as ...

& Arlo seems to be carrying on tradition. Yes, hope more people get back to him.

Pete does cite that someone wrote the song, but, he makes many reference to how many songs become 'traditional'. Also, addresses plagiarism as human derivation... carrying on

Yes, LetArtsLive, 1 incredibly good man.I sing this song when working in the garden. & I've done it a lot.

I find myself singing this song every time I plant out new beds . I first heard it sung by John Denver, but mush prefer this simpler version

[fgouveiapa]

Does anyone know of a song Pete sang at a Wolftrap concert in the early 80's that starts, "Ay Nicaragua"? I can't find mention of it anywhere.
