Thread Name: Davey Graham: what a waste
Subject: RE: Davey Graham: what a waste
I don't know if y'all are aware, but Pete Seeger is beginning to show signs of age, and it's reflected in his singing/playing somewhat. Whether the nomination for the Nobel comes through or not, I would still give him a standing ovation after any set he did because he deserves my respect for the work of his lifetime. He made much of what musicians do today possible because he helped lead the way in music in a time that music needed leading. His "We Shall Overcome" album recorded live at Carnegie Hall is as close to a great album as great albums get. And what's Pete got to do with Davey? Nothing I guess. Nothing at all. No, nothing . . . .

Some people posting here have made it clear that they remain sitting when their elders enter the room. That says it all to me.
