Welcome Douglas from Beacon, NY.  Did you know Pete Seeger?

Yes, I did....back in the mid-60s.....he was looking for a group of young kids from our neighborhood to sing with him....so he came to the local church (St. Andrews Church, Beacon) and asked our minister to suggest any kids who might be interested....I definitely WAS!!....about 10 of us in total.  We sang with him in a few local areas in venues hoping to raise funds to build The Clearwater.  We sang with him on a couple of early morning religious shows (Lamp Onto My Feet)....sang with him on half the songs on his "Big Muddy" album in NYC....and sang with him at his 1966 Carnegie Hall Xmas concert.  It was a great time....unforgettable!  At my mature age I'm still inspired by him....which is why I just bought a 5-string....and hope to learn clawhammer...and the history of the banjo.,

Great story, Douglas!  Sounds like memories that will never fade.
