Notes


"Hootenanny"
10 March 1947

CBS Radio broadcast features Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, Sonny Terry, Brownie McGhee, Eddie Smith, Hally Wood, Sidney Bechet, Pops Foster, Cisco Houston, and the Coleman Brothers with John Henry Faulk as host. Written and produced by Alan Lomax. A mixture of nine songs, influencing folk, blues, gospel, and jazz simulated, as Faulk states, “forty-eight states doing a musical jamboree.” “Raise a Ruckus Tonight” was the theme song with Woody adding a square-dance verse when they ended it as the opening song.
