R.I.P. Pete Seeger

Became a fan in high school, esp of The Almanac Singers and The Weavers. Never got into sing-a-longs, though.



Once considered doing a play about his relationship with Burl Ives. As young men, they hit the road together to sing at labor rallies. Then Ives grew more conservative, went to Hollywood, and got rich. Seeger kept the faith all his 94 years. (Look at the length of that banjo neck!)
