Thank you for allowing me to be a guest on your site. It is absolutely wonderful to hear what is happening around the world and especially in the USA.

In Melbourne, Australia where "For Pete's Sake Sing" idea began, in my lounge room actually after watching The Power of Song DVD, the celebrations are multiplying. In country Victoria in Corryong and Mallacoota and Penshurst and probably Denver in central Victoria too, they are going to sing for Pete's Sake! Singalongs are being organised in Melbourne, capital city of Victoria, and in Perth, capital city of Western Australia, and Adelaide capital city of South Australia too.

The Australian National Folk Festival is on over Easter and it is expected that we will hear of more sing alongs.

We are now beginning to ask our Australian "For Pete's Sake Sing" participants to Email two or three photos of their event and up to 100 words which we will put on a CD for Pete. I notice that you do not put Email addresses in your threads but I would be happy to have mine used if people would like to join in the photos/100 words idea. Although the Dayton, Ohio event sounds as if it should be videoed in its entirety.

This has moved me the most. A family in South Africa sent an Email to say that their family of three generations will be "singing along with Pete Seeger's cds to celebrate the day, and to acknowledge how his songs kept quite a few of us sane and actively opposed in the bad old days of apartheid. If you are sending him a message, please include us."

Thank you everyone and especially to Joybell who is supporting and helping me via Email
