| The passing of Pete Seeger Received today from my friend Peter Sorensen January 30, 2014 |
| E-mail today from Pete Sorensen: Where have All the Flowers Gone? The passing of Pete Seeger The greatest of my heroes that I actually knew, folksinger Pete was 94. My mother used to take me to the banjo player’s small “hootnannys” when I was a toddler, and as I grew older we followed him to Carnegie Hall where one time he had us on stage singing along with a group of about 30 of his friends. My favorite memory tho was after a concert when he let me play his 12 string guitar. I had a nice 12 string of my own, so I was utterly astonished when I played his and discovered how easily the strings fretted (how little effort they took to press down when making a chord). Here’s a picture of him laughing while holding that guitar. |
| A few years ago I heard him interviewed on the BBC and I wrote to say how much I had enjoyed that. To my delight he replied! Here’s a scan of that letter and a photo of him and his Japanese wife Toshi that he sent me. Bless you, Pete, and thank you for leaving this world a better place for having sung in it! ~~Peter News Item |
