Pete Seeger

Last evening, I watched the biography of Pete Seeger entitled "Pete Seeger: The Power of Song" on PBS, primarily because some time ago students from NYCA recorded the song "Michael, Row Your Boat Ashore" to be used as background music in the piece. So, of course being all proud of this, I sat down and watched "listened" for it. And yes, it was there - but more than that, how proud I was to have the honor of being a part of this wonderful biography and I hope that anyone reading this can take the time to catch this piece on PBS (Channel 13 New York.) It will air again as as part of the American Masters Series, March 6th at 8pm. If you don't know Pete Seeger's history, this is a must see. He is a truly remarkable and inspirational man and whether or not you know it, he had an impact on all of our lives through his music and great gift of humanity! You'll be glad you did!
