    Great video, thanks. Do you think Pete and the kids might agree to go down to Guantanemo Bay and sing something really suitable there in front of cameras feeding a Google Hangout onto YouTube as well as all the TV and radio and print media? And tell the inmates it's going to happen. If obstructed by the authorities, do it anyway somewhere else, with a photo of the prison and explaining to all those media the obstruction.

    If Mr. Seeger doesn't get a Nobel Peace Prize before he dies, then there is no justice in this world.

    May our elders continue to share wisdom. I sure become inspired by Pete because he always wanted everyone to be included. I watched some of the YouTube 90th birthday and seeing so many honoring Pete and how the audience responds. Let's go out there and make a difference. He makes hope contagious.
