Has anyone else seen/heard the new TV ad for The U.S. Virgin Islands using the song "This Land Is Your Land" I don't know who is singing it but it is a pretty cool. I was busy doing something in another room and heard it and went running to the TV to see what it was. I have seen it several times here in Houston. Seems that Woody's song are getting quite popular with the advertising industry lately. Cool ! ! ! Got my attention.

Yes--we've seen it in Dallas, too, and in the last 6 months or so, I have been noticing that there seems to be more folk-style music in other ads and in TV intro and background music.

Strange.....I don't recall the Virgin Islands being between the redwood forests and the new york island?

Sure they are, Larry ... you just have to go around the world the other way!!!!

Hi Shelley, Connie, Carolyn and you too Larry, I saw that commercial about fifteen months ago and was concerned they may have been using the song without permission, so, doing my blundercivic duty I e-mailed the Woody Guthrie archives to find out. They e-mailed back saying they did have permission, so I've been able to sleep well ever since.

.....thanks Baldwinville.....for checking....i appreciate blunderers on alert....

...so now i can sleep,too....even on the 10th of ......
