Thanks for this wonderful rendition! I adore Pere Seeger both nusically and morally--he's a truly great figure, and his activity in the face of advancing age is an inspiration. What luck to be seeing him!
Speaking of advancing age... today at 3PM i am going to see Pete Seeger (89 years old) and at 9:30PM I am going to see Dave Brubeck (87 years old). Can't think of a better way to spend my Saturday.
I couldn't think of a more moving and on the mark tribute to Grandpa Pete than your direct and simple rendering of this classic chestnut. The first time I heard Pete sing this live was as an eleven year old in 1964 when Grandpa Pete came to Bear Mountain where I was attending summer camp. It was soon thereafter that I had saved up my pennies and had bought the historic LP "Pete Seeger @ Carnegie Hall".
I know you'll enjoy singing along with Pete and Tao.
