Subject: RE: Songs for the Holiday - the 4th?
I was listening to an NPR special on Woody. They claim that Woody hated Kate Smith's "God Bless America." So he sat down one night in a hotel room and wrote what we now know of as This Land is Your Land. So put that at the top of your list. You might also want to sing John Prine's The Great Compromise to help keep our patriotism in perspective.
