There are people who work as hard.

There are people who have written as well.

There are people who have had wider appeal.

But there has been no one in my life and in the lives of millions of others who has combined artistry, social responsibility, musical skill and dedication to cause and country better than Pete Seeger.

Some people take paragraphs to say what Pete said in a few simple, rhyming sentences.

God bless you and yours, Pete... thanks for this wonderful song and your example to us all.
