Here are few things I can recall:<BR/><BR/>1. His father was a composer--classical music, I believe.<BR/><BR/>2. Bruce Springsteen has recorded a bunch of Pete Seeger songs as the "<A HREF="http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5362968" REL="nofollow">Seeger Sessions</A>."<BR/><BR/>3. He built and installed bookcases above the baby's crib--and was awoken one night by a loud crash. Fortunately, the crib was sturdier than the bookcase.<BR/><BR/>Blessings,<BR/>Liz, <A HREF="http://thegoodraisedup.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow">The Good Raised Up</A>Liz Opphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09802348848085930901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14041973.post-1146774468709873242006-05-04T15:27:00.000-05:002006-05-04T15:27:00.000-05:00Oops. ...brave man he is, not was.

My parents took me to his concerts when I was just a tyke; I can still hear him stomping on the stage in his big old boots bellowing "Obiyoyo, Obiyoyo!" He was one of our girls' top picks as a bed-time tape. Alana called him "Peach Seeger."<BR/><BR/>What a gifted, kind, warm, brave man he was. When he finally passes, I'm going to need some sort of memorial.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for this post, Paul.James Riemermannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00785078588562735749noreply@blogger.com
