My friend Michael Hurley (a fine songwriter and folksinger in his own right), at a Folk festival once, said "Seeing as how we're at a Folk festival, I think it's only appropriate that I do one of Woody's", and then launched into "The Woody Woodpecker Song". -Matt Sohn (who was surprised that the list failed to include Billy Murray's cylinder recording of "You're a Grand Old Rag")
