I was surprised to see a 10-15 minute spot devoted to 80 year old Pete on CNN last night. On the rare occasions that Pete is acknowledged by the mainstream (and often even by the folkie media) I usually cringe at the banality and tiresomely overdone questions ("when did you write Where have al......") but in this segment, interviewer Willow Baye, at least seemed interested in what he had to say. In order to assure us out in TV land that this elderly man was "important", about five minutes were taken up by Bruce Springsteen gushing about Pete. It's ironic that probably the vast majority of those really appreciative of Pete's music and influence, would be hard pressed to name ONE Springsteen song. Oh well, that's show-biz.

They showed a number of black and white clips of Pete that seemed to be British in origin, including bits of an ALMANAC SINGERS(!!!) film. Also a brief Weavers clip. Does anyone know if there are complete versions of these around, and where I could locate them. SOMEBODYS got them and I would dearly love to see them.

Thanks

Rick
