R.I.P. Pete Seeger who was indeed a great campaigner for social justice at a very difficult time.
He was very supportive of a young Bob Dylan but was very traditional in his view of what folk music should be. At the 1965 Newport Folk Festival he was incensed when Dylan first used the backing of The Band and used an electric guitar. It was rumoured that he tried to cut the electric cables with an axe although this is disputed. |

It was rumoured that he tried to cut the electric cables with an axe although this is disputed. Pete Seeger was always a firm traditionalist, and perhaps he should have been more tolerant of Dylan, but by then Dylan had become big-headed and publicly dissociateed himself from the folk movement so maybe Pete had a point when he unplugged Dylan at the Newport Festival. He was after all the organiser. Didn't realise he wrote We Shall Overcome. He was a regular visitor to these shores during the 60s and played the British folk clubs. A good man. RIP Pete Seeger |

A good life lived well. One of the heroes of the folk music revival and creator of one of the best protest songs ever written. RIP Pete.

One of my most prized albums is the Pete Seeger Carnegie Hall Concert from 1963. I suppose everyone knows it for We Shall Overcome, a great song but there was one which when i first heard it, couldn't quite figure the exact meaning behind the words. Eventually i did and this is it;
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXTUf7pS-jU and another from the same Concert which i feel a very fitting send off for not only a great musician but a life long committed supporter and fighter for civil rights. A man who truly wore his heart on his sleeve. If only there were more like him; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJX0Pdj1rBw |
