I was playing a benefit concert for our Oklahoma state senator who was launching what turned out to be an unsuccessful bid to become the Democratic nominee for President many years ago. The headliner was Arlo Guthrie, who was playing because Marjorie Guthrie was a friend of the senator. The conversation worked its way around to what was Woody's favorite song. Turns out, he was most proud of the Columbia River Project which the Department of Interior had commissioned Woody to right some songs for, and Arlo said this is the one he liked the best.
