I was living in Portland, Oregon through the 80's and early 90's playing om a few coffee houses, bars and mainly busking on the streets. Up to that point I had never had the pleasure of seeing Pete, though I had been in Boston and New York in the early 60's. Got to see Ramblin Jack, Ed McCurdy, Bob Dylan Jean Ritchie and others. And here it is 1991 in early March. Someone comes up to me on the street and asks for a Pete Seeger song, so I think I did The Bells of Rhymney. He proceeds to tell me that Pete is playing in Portland the next night. So I figured that he's be playing at the Civic Auditorium or the larger concert hall and would be sold out. Much to my surprise and pleasure the gentleman handed me a ticket to the concert and it was being held at one the city "high schools"! And it was for the benefit of the Farm Workers struggle aka Cesar Chavez. What else could you expect from such a great human being. Humility and Love and Human compassion and all the rest. That's Pete Seeger. Happy Birthday Pete and God Bless you!
