Hope this hasn't been done before, but I just noticed it. Woody's "Mail Myself to you" is being featured prominently in a US Postal TV ad. Made me start thinking 'Other than endless versions of "This Land" has anything else of his made prime time TV'?

Rick:

I am sure I have seen "Bound for Glory" being used in some film or other, but I can't recall if it was TV or cinema.

That's John McCutcheon singing and playing the hammer dulcimer in the commercial.

Sorry if I was unclear, Rick. I meant "This Train is Bound for Glory" which was at least arran ged by Woody.

I am sure Phil Ochs didn't write that one. I think....
