I found this article in yesterday's (Sunday June 21st) NYT travel section.



Although it is a travel article, it is a good read for anyone who is a fan of Pete and his music. There is also a short video clip of Pete playing banjo embedded in the article.



Enjoy!

You're right - it's a good read. And it has other Seeger and Guthrie links, too. Thanks!

Ken,


Thanks for sending that link. To be able to see Woody Guthrie playing with Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee was worth the price of admission. 


When I watched the video, YouTube recommended another video of Pete Seeger, his grandson and Bruce Springsteen singing "This Land is Your Land" at Obama's first inauguration. It was very powerful.


Thanks again for sending.


Ram
