Spaw, "penultimate" means "second best." I think you meant "ultimate," no? Don't mind me, I'm just showing off my real good english talk.

Pete Seeger, solo, always has this incredible ability to connect with an audience, move them, and get them singing. His charisma really shines when he's solo. I grew up seeing him as primarily a solo act. My sister and I used to go to his free children's concerts, in the late 1950's. I never saw him with The Weavers live, so don't really have that experience to compare the two. I prefer his solo recordings, to The Weavers recordings, though, particularly At The Village Gate, Vol. I, The Pete Seeger Sampler, and American Industrial Ballads.
