Nursery Days
Woody Guthrie SFW45036
Guthrie was a wonderful writer and performer of songs for children. Fun songs which deal with universal events in the lives of young children are filled with whimsy and enthusiasm. Favorites such as Riding in My Car, Put Your Finger in the Air, and Howdido come with Guthrie’s suggestions about how parents and children can use these songs. “A delightful series of tongue-twisting nonsense songs packed with onomatopoeia.” —L.A.
