Pete Seeger was a great man and a real human being. My favourite memory of him was years ago at one of the Vancouver Folk Music Festivals where he was performing. It was raining non-stop and Pete was running around wearing a black plastic garbage bag with holes cut out for head and arms to try to keep at least a little bit dry. He was having a great time anyway, laughing and chatting with everyone! While I was feeling distinctly uncomfortable as water leaked down through the neck of my rain jacket. Bye, Pete. The world is a better place for having had you in it. We’ll be singing your songs for you.
his was a long and exemplary life. a fine human.
