American singer-songwriter Pete Seeger turns ninety on Sunday 3rd of May this year. People around the world are being encouraged to get together and sing in groups, large and small, in homes or halls, to celebrate his lifelong contribution to making the world a better place through singing, music and activism. Folk can simply get out records and/or CD's and sing along on the day but let the organisers know that you are doing this. This idea started in Melbourne and is beginning to catch on around the globe. It is early days yet but there are concerts or singalongs planned in Copenhagen Denmark and country Victoria in Corryong and Mallacoota, in Melbourne and many places in the USA. If you want more information about Pete Seeger's achievements and about the For Pete's Sake Sing Singalongs Email Marie. If you let Marie Goonan know she will add your happening to the list.
