I'd Really Rather Put Songs On People's

I Learned By Transcribing Songs Out Of The Library Of Congress Collection In Washington Where I Was Working. I Got A Job When I Just Turned Twenty In 1939 And Alan [lomax] Needed Some Help. I Listened To Hundreds Of Records Every Week.

I Have Sung For Americans Of Every Political Persuasion, And I Am Proud That I Never Refuse To Sing To An Audience, No Matter What Religion Or Color Of Their Skin, Or Situation In Life.

I'm Not Sure If My Involvement In Causes, Benefits, Marches, And Demonstrations Has Made A Huge Difference, But I Know One Thing: That Involvement Has Connected Me With The Good People: People With The Live Hearts, The Live Eyes, The Live Heads.

The World Will Be Solved By Millions Of Small Things.

To Live You Have To Experiment, To Have The Ability To Experiment You Have To Have Confidence, To Have Confidence You Have To Be Loved, To Be Loved You Have To Love.
