Thread Name: Seeger Tribute - Washington, DC - 2007-(online!)
Subject: RE: Seeger Tribute - Washington, DC
It was wonderful, from first to last. Our folkie audiences here are chorus junkies -- just what Pete likes! -- and the church had very live acoustics, so the music and harmonies just swelled and rang out and filled the heart and mind. The program was varied and all of it was great.

The interaction between Pete, Mike and Peggy was a joy to watch. No matter which family member was performing, the other(s) sat there listening intently and beaming at them. They told stories of their lives, told stories of their songs, and told some excellent funny stories (especially Peggy who had a notebook full....)

Peggy and Mike said when they were kids, they used to get the day off from school when Pete would come to visit. They went to a really good school, but their mom said a visit from Pete would do them more good than the teachers.

Well, a visit from these three wonderful people, in concert together, did us good too.
