Seeger

When Pete Seeger turned 90 years old this spring, he probably expected that he would keep a low profile, and have a small celebration at home or something. But instead he was feted in a big concert featuring several of the biggest performers in music. A lot of performers who were excited to celebrate a musician who had had a lot of influence on them were there, including Bruce Springsteen, Dave Matthews and a whole range of others. They sang his songs, their own songs that fit the situation and several songs that were written for this particular occasion. This was a beautiful occasion and a good way to show respect to one of the icons of music!
