Wishing Pete a happy another birthday. And for those who think he acts really old, try chopping wood with him for a while and see if you can keep up. I think it has been Toshi's cooking all these years. She makes the best pea soup in the world!

Pete first "taught" me banjo...through his book "How to Play..." and then I actually got to play with him many years later at the first Clearwater festival. So Happy Birthday to the man who brought so much joy into my life and into the lives of so many others!

I've told the story before but it can stand repeating; Pete gave me my first banjo lesson on Gordon Bok's living room back in 1969. Thanks again Pete.

Happy birthday, Pete.

You once wrote to me about a song of mine in a magazine. I've still got the letters among my treasures. You are a guiding light.

As an aside a lot of the clips of Pete Seeger have been removed from YouTube due to copyright violations.

He's a mighty link in the chain. I've stolen/borrowed/learned dozens of great songs from his recordings over the years.

This thread is the icing on the cake of my day. I'd bake you a cake if I could!

I don't like to think about who I would (or wouldn't) be if not for your influence.

Dear one, may your old age be comfortable, and may you keep on irritating.

If Pete does read this, his union, AFM Local 1000 tried to call and wish him a happy birthday (we call every one of our members on their birthdays) but I couldn't leave a message.

So, Pete, from your Union, Local 1000,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

He's older than Prince Phillip and I *thought* he was old!*smile*
(Night Owl's mom just turned 101 in March and her aunt is 98!)

Happy Birthday to one of the BEST our country has ever seen/heard!

At least 2 of our English papers (Independent and Guardian) listed Pete's 92nd in today's birthday column! I don't know if any of Murdoch's did, because I didn't read any of them.

I know there was a thread on Pete but I couldn't bring it up.

I just called to wish him a happy birthday, but he's out irritating republicans or something.
