I grew up with Pete Seeger. My mother took us kids to all the singalongs in the early 60's when he was still blacklisted, and I grew up with his music.
Here is my activist mom's memoir.... she's been listening to him sing since 1948

Each day is a gift, that's why it is called the present.
I loved your mom's piece, too.
I shed a few tears this morning. First time I can remember crying over a "celebrity."

He was a troubadour of truth, love, peace, sister/brotherhood, work, protest and the power of community! He lives on in what he has given us.

What a great loss to the world. We will never see the like of him again in our age, I don't think. Larger than life, and yet so humble and giving, his music will reverberate for many generations to come. There was a special on PBS about him a few years back, I hope they show that again.
Loved the blog, well written tribute!
