In reply to the discussion: My Pete Seeger story... [View all]mountain grammy
(26,619 posts)26. great experience for an 18 year old.. so glad you knew who he was
so you could appreciate the encounter. Just think, 30 years ago he was 64 and he was surprised you recognized him because that's the kind of man he was. There shouldn't be a living American who doesn't know Pete Seeger.

Yes, there was an ax. And yes Pete was furious. But in the end, he didn't do it.
