You'll hear original songs that Marc has sung at peace rallies with Pete Seeger as well as some surprising sing-alongs from the sixties like Wooly Bully and the Beatles', Help. Marc composed the song, American Children, originally sung by Richie Havens. It was the title track to an album that he produced.
