Subject: RE: Happy Birthday Pete Seeger From: Desert Dancer Date: 03 May 12 - 12:37 PM The LOC American Folklife Center posted this on Facebook: It's Pete Seeger's ninety-third birthday! As a teenager, Seeger was the first intern at the Archive of Folk Song, which is now the AFC Archive. Later, he went on to have number-one hits with The Weavers, and to become a leading light of the American folk revival, the Civil Rights movement, and the environmental movement. He has maintained a relationship with the Archive and Center all these years, crediting us as the source of many of his songs, donating some of his collections, and visiting us from time to time. In 2007, AFC organized a symposium honoring the Seeger family for their contributions to the Library and to American culture. It included two concerts, one in the Library's Coolidge Auditorium and one in nearby Silver Spring, MD. The concerts turned out to be the last time Pete played with his half-siblings, Mike and Peggy, before Mike died in 2009. AFC maintains a substantial site dedicated to the symposium, including webcasts of all the panels and the Coolidge concert, resource lists of Seeger materials at the Library, schedules, and a photo album. Please explore the site and wish one of our oldest friends a very happy birthday! How Can I Keep From Singing? A Seeger Family Tribute at the Library of Congress ~ Becky in Tucson |

Subject: RE: Happy Birthday Pete Seeger From: Charley Noble Date: 04 May 12 - 08:29 PM Pete is one of the mainstays of our music. I first got to see him way back in the 1950s at our local college. Then I remember a wonderful concert he did here in Maine with Gordon Book as a benefit for the Apprentice Shop Boat Building Program in Rockland. Everything worked that night and thousands of dollars were raised for a good cause.. Cheerily, Charley Noble |

Subject: RE: Happy Birthday Pete Seeger From: banjoman Date: 08 May 12 - 09:55 AM Can't add to all that has been said already other than he was the reason I started playing banjo all those years ago and still have his books which are probably worth a lot as first edition complete with the tape. Best wishes and many more |
