And, of course, the repertoire of Pete Seeger is full of gems. Just a few that come to mind:

Waist Deep in the Big Muddy
Where Have All the Flowers Gone
Die Gedanken Sind Frei
Turn! Turn! Turn!
Bring Them Home
Last Train to Nuremberg

And though it's a Christmas song, "Burgundian Carol" seems to fit, too.

And, for all times, Ed McCurdy's "Last Night I Had the Strangest Dream," which gets my vote for the best peace / antiwar song of all time.

And that just scratches the surface of Pete's (and the other songwriters' whose songs he sings) gifts to us all. Bob
