Belated birthday greeting from me, too!

I've been exploring the songbook

check out p.40 for a photo of Pete Seeger playing a panjo (= bedpan banjo!)

pp.78-79 - The Great Turtle Drive

p.93 - amazing photo of retired miner - a work of Art.

p.141 - story of the recording of 93 year old Paul Durst (b.1868)- a survivor of the Ludlow masssacre

"When Art was on stage at the No Exit, there was a kind of magic in the air. With humor, grace and quite a bit of social commentary, Art's songs, stories and corny jokes transported us into life and times past and brought that history right back home for us to enjoy."
Peter Steinberg   p.196

& many thankyous to Brian Gill for creating the songbook & to Pete for editing it

I'm planning to take the pic to a Pete Seeger 6 month memorial concert in a couple of weeks.
