One of the telling experiences of the "lasting" Pete Seeger is an e-mail I received not two weeks ago. It's from a fella named Doug. I gave him guitar lessons when he was 14. He's now in his late 40's. He was very excited to send me a print out of the singing Pete did to the HUAC back in the early 50's.

Time marches on, yet it's so good to realize that some profound benchmarks, such as Pete Seeger, are not lost today.

I owe Pete a lot, and I've had the honor of telling him so to his face.
