Thread Name: New Pete Seeger performance -Texas
Subject: RE: New Pete Segeer performance -Texas
Greetings:
Pete Seeger performed in New York City on May 21 in a benefit for the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee. Other recent performances in New York include the Peoples' Voice Cafe last December, the Brooklyn High School of the Arts last January, and the Renaissance Charter School, also last January. The last two events were on behalf of the People's Music Network, an organization with which remains actively involved. The Peoples' Voice Cafe appearance, which was unannounced as his request, was part of their 25th anniversary celebration.
I should add that earlier this month Pete, along with Sol "Roundman" Weber, led a workshop on rounds singing for the People's Music Network at Camp Epworth in High Falls, New York, about 100 miles north of the city.
For someone who supposedly retired, Pete still gives quite a few performances, but they tend to be low keyed affiars rather than big splashy concerts. Almost always they are on behalf of an organization or movement he supports, or else they are for schools.
Join the People's Music Network and come to its gatherings and you will not only get a chance to hear Pete, but you will also get a chance to interact with him as a fellow musician. And that's just one benefit of PMN membership.
