Bigsby Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 I really recommend listening to this Pete Seeger documentary while it's still on iPlayer:BBC iPlayer - He Shall Overcome: Pete Seeger at 90Not only does it feature contributions from the likes of Donovan, Roger McGuinn and Tom Paxton, but it has great interviews with Seeger himself which I assumed were vintage (he's 90), but apparently they were all done recently, amazing that he still has all his marbles and can remember loads of stuff about the 30s etc.I knew he was an important folkie, but I hadn't realised that he'd done so much, stood up against the blacklist etc. Go listen.

Alan Cynic Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 I'll try to watch this on Sunday.Once went to see him at the Bitter End, but by the time I got there he'd done an early set and was off to his beddy-byes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigsby Posted December 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 It's a radio thingy.PM'd you a link to a picture of the two of us outside the Bitter End, no sign of Seeger that night though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
