I'm off to the Florida Folk Festival this weekend. As I pondered what to leave for an OT this week, I thought perhaps the ultimate folk musician, Pete Seeger would be a fun topic. I hope some of you enjoy a bit of his story.
I'm off at a Georgia State Park with some music buddies. Our focus in this gathering is singing. If you know lots of songs, you have to play and sing them regularly in order to keep them resident in your mind. However, it is easy to lose some over the years, so our goal is to reclaim those songs and reinforce the songs we do know. People like to classify music based on genre. I've been called an old time, bluegrass, country, and folk musician. I prefer the folk label which is so broad as to include a variety of music.
