Thread Name: New Pete Seeger performance -Texas
Subject: New Pete Seeger performance -Texas
Imagine my suprise when I opened this mornings paper and saw that Pete Seeger was in town last night. The Unitarian Univerists were holding a national assembly here in Ft Worth Texas and they were entertained by Pete who belongs to a Unitarian church in New York. The paper says he performed quite a few of his better known songs for the croud - who - as you can imagine - sang along.

They quoted Pete as saying that he's a lucky man.

"I married a woman who has stuck with me for 62 years. We have 3 children and 7 grandchildren" "Also I'm lucky to live in a country where we have this grand tradition that you've got a right to speak you're mind - right or wrong"

You go Pete !!

At 12:45 today there will be a rally protesting the death penalty at the north end of the Tarrent County Convention Center. The paper didn't say if Pete would perform there or not.

If I'm not mistaken Texas leads the country in executions and air pollution but we're at the bottom of the list when our schools are rated nationwide.
