I worked with Pete Seeger at several events in New England 25+ years ago. I was a grassroots activist with Tinker form the Garden of Delights in Worcester Ma. I met first Pete at an anti-nukes event at Seabrook, NH. He let my 4 year old hang with him while I was making sure things were flowing smoothly at a 3 day safe energy event at Mt. Watatic in Ashby Ma. He even sang with him on stage there. I saw him last in So. Florida about 15 years ago, and I have his cd playing as I write this... Love the man, grew up with his music & Woody Guthrie's. And then I grew into it, took responsibility for our actions by becoming active... he inspires. Love the songs he wrote for his children... and ours. Peace! First time here on this site… love it. I worked with Pete Seeger at several events in New England 25+ years ago.

I play acoustic - not very well - for my own amusement and for my three kids (ages 11 - 30). They have heard - since birth, "Where have all the flowers gone" - "If I had a hammer" and "turn, turn, turn." I called my 11 y/o daughter in tonight to hear you sing Guantanemera" on PBS, which she is now playing in her band class. Pete, may the Lord bless and keep you. - Ted Turner, Hollywood, Md.

I bet he would have loved to be a fly on the wall in the mid sixties when I MCd a concert for a local "Up With People" group. 12 year old me had no idea at the time how reactionary a group I had joined. I just wanted to sing and play my guitar. The parents who came to see the show had no idea the kid who was singing during stage changes was going to sing a bunch of Woody Guthrie's, Pete Seeger's, and Peter Paul and Mary's stuff. My big finale was Peter Paul and Mary's "The Great Mandela"...hardly the sort of stuff Up With People had in mind for shows during the Vietnam War. I will always regularly sing "The People Are Scratching" for kids. A truly great and easy song for the kids to scream along And finally...I race sailboats and I also listened to Arlo say, "Pete Seeger once said 'Folksongs is serious.'" I love to pass the committee boat full of stuffed shirts in their special nautical coats and say to them, "Sailboat races is serious." I feel like Pete, Arlo, and I are having a personal inside joke. Thanks for everything Pete!! All my life I have sung Pete’s songs and known he was a treasure for which I was too young to “be there on time.”

What an inspiration! I knew him as a folksinger before but now I see him as an amazing patriot and man of conviction. It makes me feel hope for America's future! I can't wait to introduce my sons to his songs! Christine I watched the PBS special with my husband last week (and again tonight I am watching it!). What an inspiration!
