Subject: RE: peggy seeger on u.k. radio
Peggy's parents were classically trained musicians before they got into folk music. Her mother, Ruth Crawford Seeger, was a composer. There is an article about her in todays Guardian and a concert of her work at Hoxton Hall, London,tonight. 020 7359 4404 for details. It's a fair bet that Peggy will play one of her mothers pieces tomorrow. Peggy is also a great admirer of Ella Fitzgerald.
