Thread Name: Pete Seeger 90th Birthday party at MadisonSqGarden
Subject: RE: Pete Seeger 90th Birthday part at MadisonSqGarden
Lady Hillary and I will be there as working volunteers. We will be at entry door 6-2. As a committee head for the Clearwater Revival, I was at our regular meeting last Saturday when they asked for volunteers to work getting festival volunteers and attendees at the concert. There is still room to sign up.

To find out who is performing, go to www.Clearwater.org where you can also sign up to volunteer for the festival.

All attendees at the concert are receiving a one year membership to Clearwater.

Regarding the Camp, Clearwater has outgrown its home in Poughkeepsie and needs a larger, more flexible space. The house is being sold and, as mentioned, the organization is moving to Beacon, about 5 miles from Pete's home. The bad news is that they will be renting, rather than owning, the property. The property has had many incarnations, including as a drying out/rehab facility for famous druggies and alcoholics.

It's a gorgeous location about a 1/2 miles from the river.

Regarding the Sloop Singers, I believe several will be on the stage as supporting musicians. We will, of course have our annual reunions at Revival and at New Jersey Friends of Clearwater's Festival [3rd weekend in August].
