Thread Name: Pete Seeger 90th Birthday party at MadisonSqGarden
Subject: RE: Pete Seeger 90th Birthday part at MadisonSqGarden
It was Marie Goonan of Melbourne (via Sandra of Sydney -- I think) who proposed the gatherings around the world on Pete's birthday. "For Pete's Sake Sing" she's calling them. Plans are well underway here in Victoria, Australia.
Our party, in our little town, has a tiny line-up of singers. Two of us -- both listed under H. We're keen though and True-love has stories to tell about Pete and about the 60s in America when he was on the same scene there. And of course the songs.
We're asking a donation, whatever people can afford -- free if they can't, to go to the local hall.
Cheers, Joy
