Episode 30 - Rainbow Quest by Pete Seeger: Steve Addiss and Bill Crofut, with Pham Duy

Steve Addiss and Bill Crofut, American folksingers who traveled extensively in the Far East singing under U.S. Department of State auspices, together with Phan Duy, "the Woody Guthrie of Vietnam," explore the Vietnamese musical traditions. They also sing the well-known American song "Clementine" in Vietnamese. Rainbow Quest was a television program produced for one series run in 1965 and 1966 by the Advertisers Broadcasting Company for UHF station WNJU-TV in the New York City market. Throughout the show's 39-episode run, writer and curator of American folk songs Pete Seeger hosted many guest musicians. He also himself presented the histories of diverse American and international folk music traditions through spoken and musical segments.
