In reply to the discussion: My Pete Seeger story... [View all]longislandAnnie
(13 posts)36. I had the memorable experience of singing and marching with Pete and Toshi
During the anti War, anti Bush protest at the RNC convention in New York City back in 2004. They were marching along with a few other musicians and activists from upstate NY somewhere near the rear of the blocks and blocks of marchers. They welcomed my sister, my college age son, and I to join them and made an already amazing day, exhilarating. We'll miss you Pete.

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

He informed you and changed you, like he did with everyone who listened

You really should! Besides the great music, of course, there was cutting edge
