I am a little confused.
Articles on this Seeger concert (Toronto Sun today) have been of the impression that Pete Seeger has not performed in public in two decades.
I went back to an article at the top of this thread and it states he has refused to play for a "paying" public since 1982. That's some difference in reality.

Ah, journalism. I guess its how things are interpreted - but I can pretty much say that I saw him at Toronto's Ontario Place Forum with Arlo Guthrie around about 1984 or 1985, since it was with my wife, who was not known to me until then.

In any case, maybe then he took no money from that performance or he and Arlo donated to some thing and did it pro bono otherwise, etc.

But to think that Pete Seeger had not performed in "public" for 20 years is passing strange to me. He MUST have been playing and singing somewhere - Clearwater and all the other causes?
