  • awesome, put a smile on my face and that's important these days :)

  • damn this is music - so beautiful

  • Terrific! Greetings to everyone from Jarrahnut (Colin) in wonderful Western Australia.

  • It is nice to see that they are still together, and their voices still sound as good as the first time!!! Roll jenny jinkins roll!!!

  • time to hang it up

  • I love the rhyme for "will you wear orange" that David Grisman and Jerry Garcia used:

    "Orange I won't wear, cause it rhymes, SO THERE!"

    I love Pete and Jean's music; always have, always will.

  • beautiful.

  • The other night, this song got stuck in my head, and as I was drifting to sleep, the rhyme for "Silver" came to me.

    And no. I aint sharing.  Find your own rhyme! :)

  • Thank you for fun up-lifting music! What a blessing!

  • If'n that ain't my Ma and Pa those two sure raised me up real good anyhow! What a beautiful sparkling gem of a video!

  • Long live Pete and Jean.

  • That is so cool. There is a much older version of them performing the same song, and there they are doing it again. I love it.

  • @thimoneus I bet this was like old times for them. :)

  • beautiful! :)

  • It brings a tear to my eye to know that these two are still at it.  They've performed a remarkable service in preserving America's musical heritage in the electronic age and turning recent generations onto the joy of musical creativity. Roll, Pete and Jean, Roll.!

  • ill buy me a roldy foldy tildy toldy seek a double use a cozzy roll to find me:)

    (according to jerry)

  • Hello, RayB- Thanks for the thanks.....the words I sing to the chorus are: Foldy-roldy-tildy-tolly-seek-a­-double-use-a-cause-a-roll-o'b­indin. As such it has no real meaning, but probably started out as a reference to sewing or mending, or quilting? (Roll 'o binding). We used to "bind" the edges of our new quilts just off the frame. Jean

  • Thanks for sharing that with us.I could never quite figure out what them words was in that there song...Folly rolly dilly dally seeka dubble music cause a roll about me?...Right?

  • Perfect display of what music is...FUN!!!!

  • Hahaha....delightrful! I learned this song off a record when i was five,and loved it. I still sing it when the mood strikes me! Thank you for this American gem...and with these artists!!

  • Two American treasures - Seeger and Ritchie.

  • FANTASTIC! An American treasure.

  • THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!

  • absolute brilliance !! top of the class

    thank you

  • What a gift, can't get better. Excellent

  • magnificent and timeless!

  • Pete is very much alive and living in the Hudson River valley, near Beacon, NY. And, at 88, he sings just fine for me! I would assume that all of his works are nicely archived since he is the son of a musicologist and an archivist himself.

  • Do you know him? I would love to meet and ask him to sign my guitar.

  • I don't know him, but have known OF him for a long time. He a founder of the Clearwater Foundation, promoting a clean Hudson River and a sailing boat called Clearwater. Go to clearwater DOT org for info. They have a 2-day festival every year (June 21-22 in 2008) around Beacon, NY. As long as he can still do so, Pete attends & performs. I plan on going up this year. Some of the last chances to see a true living legend.

  • Thanks I will look into it.

  • grisman and garcia got me into this tune its a an old traditional and great one

  • I love the Not For Kids Only album. These guys are wonderful as well.

  • not for kids only is full of old traditional that jerry and david appreciated and uderstood both, equally it seemed...... if you appreciate traditional music this is one of the oinly guys to check out if you haven't read a \bio on this man do so and i'm glad at least you and me enjoy real music...

  • I have a ride range of tastes, everything from pickin to Metallica to Bueno Vista Social Club to 50 cent lol

  • "jurkle." Brilliant. :)

  • poor Pete can barely sing anymore. is he even still alive? good vid

  • This has got to be put in some archive somewhere and preserved.. This is a culture that is slipping through our fingers day by day.

  • Mr. Seeger is a wonderful guy. I remember my pre-school teachers singing his songs for us back in the 60's.

  • THIS IS GREAT!!! Jean Ritchie and Pete Seeger are the best in folk~

  • Great pickin' and great singin', doesn't get any better, would love to see more.
