The 2009 Clearwater Festival marked the 40th anniversary of the launching of the Hudson River Sloop Clearwater. Pete Seeger, at 90, helped re-christen the vessel using water from Lake Tear in the Clouds. More on the Hudson's revival at:

Sooo cooool! Blessings, health and light to Pete and the Clearwater on their respective birthdays. Brings back memories of sailing with Pete in 1972 on the Hudson and being on deck while he performed at Fulton Street Fish Market dock.

My son Ken (9) is getting aboard Pete Seeger's Clearwater next week. This is what Grandpa Seeger started 40 years ago almost single-handedly to raise the level of awareness on the pollution on the Hudson River.

You muuusstt be kidding. Pete's motto has become "Think globally; act locally" He put his money where his mouth is 40 years ago and build the Clearwater. Pete Seeger's desire to clean up the Hudson changed it from an industrial wasteland to "clear water." OF COURSE it should be re-christened with clear water from the source. It's symbolic. Get it??? HAPPY 90 YEARS, PETE!!
