Singing Along with Pete Seeger at the Ceremonial!

Perhaps the most unusual occurance at the 2012 Ceremonial of the American Academy of Arts and Letters was 93 year old Pete Seeger, recipient of the Academy's 2012 Award for Distinguished Service to the Arts, playing the guitar and banjo, singing, and getting many people in the audience as well as the art, literature, and music luminaries on stage to sing along with him . (Note from Frank J. Oteri: Apologies for the less than stellar video from the back row, but I think the audio more than makes up for it. I'm still floored by the sound quality of the audio on the late lamented FlipCam.) To read the full report, go to /www.newmusicbox.org/articles/come-rain-or-come-shine/.
