a year or so before that the Philadelphia Folk Festival hosted a Seeger Family Concert... I only got to see about half of it (which is what turned me off from volunteering there ever again) but it was great, and Pete only lad a handful of songs. Penny, Mike and Peggy were all there with their kids as well.


*edit* LOC has the entire Family Concert up for streaming! http://www.loc.gov/folklife/Seegersymposium/concertlog.html

but yeah, a lot of the things I've looked at this morning have had me close to tears. That NYT article TBF linked up above... I knew all that stuff already, but it is amazing to see everything he did.


Also recommended is the PBS American Masters program on him from a few years back (The Power of Song).
