28 January 2014 “So long, pal sure gets lonesome here
e”
Cassi
Creek: Pete Seeger died yesterday at age
94.
One of the
earliest folk singers I came to hold in highest regard, he spent his life using
music to make people happy, to help initiate social changes, and to point the
way toward celebrating the commonality of humanity that is resident in
song.
I don’t
believe we’ll ever see his match.
The best way
to remember Pete is by keeping his songs alive. So today, I’ve linked a few of
my favorites.

The world is now a quieter, less caring, less concerned for
others place. He will be missed by
millions who have heard his voice and joined theirs with his.
I can only say, so long, Pete, it’s been good to know you.
