I've been at a Zoom sing tonight 25 Jan celebrating the birthday of both Robbie Burns and Ewan MacColl by singing there songs. There were slightly more MacColl songs sung than Burns songs on this occasion. So I was thinking of other singers and songwriters whose birthdays we might commemorate.

PETE SEEGER SONGS (3 MAY 1919 - 27 Jan 2014) If you search for Pete's name in this discussion, you will find mention of several recordings by Pete of the various May songs. Pete is not primarily known as a songwriter, but he did write quite a few songs including IF I HAD A HAMMER, TOMORROW IS A HIGHWAY, WAIST DEEP IN THE BIG MUDDY, MY RAINBOW RACE, ENGLISH IS CRAZY, and part of WHERE HAVE ALL THE FLOWERS GONE. There is a Mudcat discussion thread entitled Pete Seeger songs
