Seriously, who deserves that baby more than Pete Seeger, who has literally taught the world to sing, and created much harmony, tonal and otherwise.
The goal is to get the American Friends Service Committee, which is a rad outfit that won the prize in 1918 or so, to nominate him, because they are one of [...]
Seeing the (banned on YouTube) video of Pete Seeger singing on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial Sunday made me think about how I first heard about him. It’s a pretty weird way, I think.
I was a typical 60s teenybopper — I loved the Monkees and read Tiger Beat and 16. My favorite Monkee [...]
No one knows how many people are in Washington for the inauguration (or even how to count them) but let’s just say, MANY.

I’ve been out of commission for a few days with a major head cold, and before that a few days of my mother needing all my attention.
But I’m feeling better and hopefully will be in a browsing and posting mood again soon, with some time to do so.
Unfortunately, I did not miss the [...]
While in Crawford, I was introduced to an amazing musical duo, Pat Humphries and Sandy O, otherwise known as Emma’s Revolution. Their music is totally amazing, a blend of folk, pop, roots rock. The best way I can think to describe them is a mix of Pete Seeger and Sweet Honey and the Rock.
They seem [...]
There was an article in Sunday’s Oklahoman about this family of five brothers and sisters who play piano and are reportedly making classical music cool for kids.
