Before he got famous with this tune, Don McLean was a regular part of the Hudson valley folkie crowd in which Pete was one of the grand old masters. I remember as a kid seeing free concerts down in the port of Albany area that sometimes included Don (who was famous then), and later his participating in benefit concerts for the [semi-]local causes in the area.
So sweet!

If I'm not mistaken, Pete sang background on the choruses of Don McLean's recording.
