Increible y bello, aún me queda esperanza en la humanidad

I agree with the above comment; Ronnie Gilbert's voice and vocal skill were exceptional. Her harmonies, beautiful. God just brought these four masters together. How wonderful we can still experience these performances. Thank you, Weavers.

Just reading some of your comments lets face it they were great. Pete for his song writing Lee for his entertaining Ronnie for her voice and Fred for his guitar playing. I do think though that both Ronnie and Fred more Ronnie were underrated

[SockoSimian]

wonderful!

Pete Seeger is by far the world's coolest nonogenarian - what an extraordinary life, with legions of musicians he has influenced. Lee Hayes was a funny guy too. :)

[VealParmigiana]

Lee Hayes excellent entertainer, comedienne, and song writer.

I love the Reagan joke.

No Pete, no Weavers. Pete was their organizer, leader, and major song writer. Ronnie was their best singer that was a major component of their excellent sound. Unfortunately Ronnie didn't have good song writers write for her after the Weavers.

[VealParmigiana]

Ronnie Gilbert is the most underrated member of the Weavers. She was to the Weavers what Judith Durham was to the Seekers. The Weavers vocals were elevated from just good to outstanding by Ronnie.

I think there is a major difference betwen Judith and Ronnie. Judith was the front of the Seekers, Pete Seegar was the front of The Weavers. No Judith, no Seekers, no Pete, no Weavers.

You may argue against that, but consider the fact that all the others faded away. Judith and Pete have not.

I'm from Poughkeepsie NY and have seen Pete in Po'Kip'See as well as Beacon. He is a wonderful man with no 'air's. I felt a huge connection to my dad's struggles in the great depression. We have no idea how bad it was!

Thank God for the organizers! Thank God for Pete and the weavers!

Very well done. Past 80 myself I can relate to what they sing. Thanks!

What a thrill to see Pete Seeger at the Inaugural Concert.

[acappellabass]

Terrific song! Does anyone know where I might find chords or tab for it? Thanks!

[oldcountrytunes]

A wonderful posting. *****. Ole Ronnie showed them. The jokes were funny but not accurate. LOLL!!! Also, thanks for sharing with me, Max.

[grummeper]

GREAT! GREAT! SUPER!

"Be of good cheer, this too will pass!" Let's hope it finally has, Mr. Hays.

Thank you Mr. Lee Hays for being such an inspiration and support.

[SirCoughsalot]

I extend that thank you to all members of the Weavers.

[stewballmax2]

That's very kind of you to do so. Let me explain my specific thank you to Lee Hays,God rest his soul. I used to correspond with him by letter in the mid 1970's while at college. I had the opportunity to meet him @ a Clearwater Festival in 1979. He was filled with such wonderful stories!!! Lee was my inspiration to pursue a career in Musicology and he had put me in contact with the Lomax organization at The Library of Congress.

Peace,

Max

Lee Hays deserves as many thank yous as possible. He seems to be a bit overlooked nowadays.
