A little before my time but he was a titan of folk music.

I would love to see a documentary on him. His influence was considerable for a guy with a banjo.

boy oh boy probably the last of his vanguard, more a product of his remarkably long life but his work seems soooo far in the past

Love Pete Seeger's stuff from his hay days which spanned decades. helped keep so many old folk folk songs from all parts of American culture going and accessible because of his recordings.

Had some great originals too

He was old when I was a kid and that was a loooong time ago. Good life. Good singer. Rest in peace, Pete.
