Thread Name: Hudson River Revival
Subject: RE: Hudson River Revival
I wonder if Pete is still running the show at Clearwater, or is he just too old to care anymore. It is difficult to imagine a person with such lofty ideals who is practically idolized by all his followers, sacrificing those ideals to the money gods. The name Pete Seeger was always synonamous with Folk music. I still remember attending the first Hudson Valley Picnic at Lyndhurst which was the forerunner of the Great Hudson River Revival. It was a rainy Sunday. Among the entertainers who joined Pete were Bob Gibson, Josh White Jr., Rory Block, John Guth, & Patsy Margolin. I have many photos of the event. When you compare those days to now, you get the impression that the good ship Clearwater has been hijacked and forced to change course. SOL ZELLER
