Pete Seeger RIP

A remarkable man. He remained commited to causes highlighting the unjust in society throughout his life. I certainly grew up with his records. Many will find much of his recorded output rather twee and i would probably agree but it was always done with his heart and with total commitment. He will be fondly remembered in the Lutyens household. 

I'm so sad to learn of Pete Seeger's death ... he was a true hero in an age with seemingly few true heroes. For his unwavering courage and integrity, for his staunch activism for civil rights, and for the environment, and against war, for his deep humanity, for his timeless songs, for his celebration of music of The People, for his influence on so many other great musicians who followed in his footsteps, and for still chopping his own damn firewood ten days before his death ... for all that and so much more, I will always be in his debt, and I will miss his spirit in this world. Thanks, Pete.

Fred has put it so well, not so much to add. Still here is a small video

"May your heart always be joyful, and may your song always be sung." Rest in peace, Pete.

I love that video of Pete reciting Dylan's lyric ... if anyone was forever young, it was definitely Pete!
