Everyone: I'm thrilled to announce that in addition to our previous lineup (see my previous posts), we have Peter McKee and his four-piece group, Clallam County, as guest performers for the Seattle celebration of "For Pete's Sake: Sing!" Peter's group will play an original tribute composition, "Pete Got Us Singing," and join in on other classics. Peter, a longtime banjoist, brings Pete Seeger's signature instrument into our mix, and his group has played the Northwest Folklife Festival an astounding 28 years in a row. If any of you know friends or family in the Seattle area, please encourage them to mark our "For Pete's Sake: Sing!" event on their calendar. It will be Sunday, May 3, with a 4 p.m. showing of the acclaimed documentary "Pete Seeger: The Power of Song," and a three-hour hootenanny of more than 30 songs, plus 1997 video clips of Seeger at Folklife, that begins at 7 p.m. For more details, see the poster at http://thehistoricadmiraltheater.com/index_files/Page1277.htm or contact me, the organizer and emcee. This will be a once-in-a-lifetime event! Clay Eals 1728 California Ave. S.W. #301 Seattle, WA 98166-1958 206-935-7515 (home) 206-484-8008 (cell) ceals@comcast.net http://www.clayeals.com
