Goodbye Pete Seeger,
Where have all the flowers gone?
To your funeral,
can you sing us one last song?

Listened to him many years ago, this folky nonsense music nowadays doesn't compare..

On his Gold Medal Collection album, Harry Chapin quotes Seeger's response to a journalist asking whether he thought he'd made a difference with causes like ending hunger. Seeger said he didn't know, but being involved meant he was mixing with "the people with the live eyes, live hearts and live minds" and that, in itself, was worth it.

They somehow managed to play a clip of the Peter Paul and Mary version of 'If I had a Hammer' on the Today Programme earlier rather than Seeger's. Genius!
