    Possible explosion at the finish line for the Boston Marathon?

    Turn, turn, turn was put to music by the great singer/songwriter Pete Seeger in about 1959. He recorded it shortly thereafter like '62 I think. The Byrds recorded a cover of his song in about '66. Here he is singing many years later with some additional verses.

    Pete Seeger is a national treasure. There is a version of this song he did with Judy Collins that is haunting. Thanks for sharing it with us.

    So glad Bostonians can start to get back to normal. What an awful week.

    Yes he is! I found the Collins/Seeger performance. Here's Judy Collins with Johnny Cash http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1-PIjB3uJs

    Anyway, I'm surfing off to update my stats on Plus3 network. They're doing a challenge where your miles/hours go towards the One Fund, a charity to help those hurt by the Boston bombing.

    I'm going to have to hunt that one down with Judy Collins, sounds like a great rendition.

    I've always loved that song. Once in a great while, I'e heard the verses said in a service at my temple. I always think, "Hey they're saying that song!"

    My stepfather lives about a mile from the capture in the boat. He could hear the helicopters and thought he could hear shooting, but he wasn't certain if he actually heard it. I used to live there, too, and know the neighborhood well. Quite a week in the town of my childhood!
