'Living in the Country' FolkScene intro

I'm trying to find the version of Pete Seeger's tune "Living in the Country" that Howard and Roz Larman used as the intro and outro music for their weekly radio program, FolkScene, on KPFK back in the 1970s.

This version was arranged for for two guitars, and I think the record it was on may have also been titled "Living in the Country" - not sure of that, though.

Anyone happen to recall it?

Here's an interesting one from Arlo Guthrie:

Here's the Pete Seeger version I'm most familiar with:

And here's one by George Winston that I wasn't familiar with:

And I realize that none of these may be the one you want, we have a practice of exploring every song completely and not simply answering the question asked. It keeps the thread alive until the right answer comes along.

Leo Kottke could sound like 2 guitarists at times.
I wonder if Eric Schoenberg and Dave Laibman did a version together.

Schoenberg did do a lovely solo version.
