Theme: Remembering Pete Seeger (1919-2014)
Pete Seeger – who died in 2014 at age 94 – was a folksinger, musician, songwriter, author and activist at the vanguard of the folk revival from the 1940s until his death. Virtually all of us who came into the folk scene over the past seven decades or more, stand on Pete’s shoulders.
