More Info:

To everyone in all the world / I reach my hand, I shake their hand, sings Pete Seeger. The material performed on this album-from a Japanese song, "Never Again Shall We Allow Another Atom Bomb to Fall," to a refrain sung during the Montgomery bus boycott in 1955-expresses the theme "To Everyone in the World."

''Rainbow Quest'' (1965–66) was a U.S. television series hosted by Pete Seeger, devoted to folk music. It was filmed in black and white and featured musicians playing in traditional American music genres such as old-time music, bluegrass and blues. The show's title is a variation on the lyrics of the folksong "Oh, Had I A Golden Thread". The program operated on a low budget, and Seeger and his fellow producers eventually had to fund the program from their own pockets, before the money ran out entirely and the program went off the air.

Among the guests featured on the program's 38 episodes were Johnny Cash, June Carter, Reverend Gary Davis, Mississippi John Hurt, Doc Watson, The Stanley Brothers, Elizabeth Cotten, Patrick Sky, Buffy Sainte-Marie, Tom Paxton, Judy Collins, Donovan, Richard Fariña and Mimi Fariña, Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee, Mamou Cajun Band, Bernice Johnson Reagon, The Beers Family, Roscoe Holcomb, and Shawn Phillips.

Almost forty hour long programs were recorded at new UHF station WNJU's Newark, New Jersey studios in 1965 and 1966, produced by Seeger and his wife Toshi with Sholom Rubinstein.
