Ah, what a loss, what a loss. Not tragic, exactly, after all, we had him for almost a century, but what an empty place on my life's record shelf.
My dad was into people who were being blacklisted in the 50's. Pete's are my versions of all the childrens' songs, those that I still sing today and those that will remain forgotten till I hear a few notes of them, when I will remember them completely.
And that was way before I could get into any of his union songs, his civil rights songs, his life as a happy, outsinging atheist songs.
I will have to find all his records on mp3 now.
