2014 Deckman Interview
Here's a recent interview of Deckman, in which he reminisces about Pete Seeger, the FBI, folk music in Seattle, and lots of other things. He sings a few songs, too.

Here's what Bob says about the interview:Back on March 11th, Pushkara (Sally) Ashford interviewed me as part of a nationwide celebration of the life of the late Pete Seeger. Over the years, I've had a little contact with Pete. During the interview, I talk about my experiences with him and some of the impact that I think he had on us. Sally's daughter Wendy filmed the interview and I just received a good video copy of that interview. Modesty not withstanding, I think it's pretty good. I'm making some copies and sometime soon I'll be able to share it with a few friends. bob
During the interview, Bob makes mention of the Bob Nelson Collection of Folk Music - the collection is worth a look.
