The places he’s been where his shoes have walked what his eyes have seen what his hands have played. The people he has known. Makes me yearn with wonder. The good old days is the truth.
We lived in Beacon 1973- 1976 and got to know Pete and Toshi and were active in the Sloop Club. My husband John even followed Pete as the Beacon Sloop Club president. We will never forget that magical time in our lives.
I'm glad I was around when Pete was around. From the time I was born in the early 1950s till his death in my middle 60s. A lifetime really. Now I'm 70 and play Pete Seeger on Banjo or Guitar to others.
There is no such thing as death. What a weird comment. Jesus rest his soul? How can a soul go to rest? It's a spark! By definition it moves and vibrates as a life form no matter what form it takes. Pete Seeger is still alive and well I'm sure! Even if not in body. Jesus came to spread his peace but his peace was a fire on the earth...a bush that was on fire with no smoke like Moses saw. A star. A star makes light to see for itself everywhere it goes. We're kind of like those undersea bioluminescent animals and we dont even realize it
My 7-year-old and I volunteered around 2002 for the Manhattan-based Clearwater when I was a low-income single mom - I think it was called the Hudson River Guild - that soon closed due to real estate costs. So grateful we got in before the closure - my daughter helped steer a row boat with a marine biologist, logging fish that survived and those that didn't, and under the marine biologist, dissecting those that didn't survive to find reasons and solutions. The school system didn't cover dissections until the 11th grade (and only if you were in an accelerated public school) and didn't have the same purpose. So grateful to Pete on a personal and larger level.
I can recall seeing him and Burl Ives at the Theatre Royal Stratford London I was just a little kid I guess about 6yrs old.Never forgot that time. What a beautiful man and his wife Peggy. There's a lot to be learned from their principles
Your Video Description reads “Watch Part 1” but then has a link to Part 2. Unless this is a completely different Pete Seeger documentary, your title seems to correctly indicate THIS VIDEO is Part 1. So your link takes us to Part 2 but says it will be Part 1. 🧨 P.S. Thanks for uploading the documentary.
Just one more thing to say,first I'm glad he had a beautiful heaven on earth to come home to in upstate New York.I believe he's in the real one now.To paraphrase what Johnny Cash said about Marty Robbins when he passed (to Pete): "I've come to know the carpenter from Nazareth a little better,and I'm fairly certain he likes a great folk singer like you.I'll see you later........."
A wonderful contribution to his legacy..If I may, you might want to check out my own recent video: Dr Stephen Richer.."If I Had a Hammer: The Life and Times of Pete Seeger"..The more Pete in cyberspace the better!
@@ericross4125 Guess I should have known it, I lived for a while in Pougheepsie and Yorktown Heights and worked in Granite Springs. That whole area is beautiful, thanks for the info.
The same way guitars, banjos, mandolins etc were made since the dawn of "civilized man." They can be made without being a Fender or Gibson. Tarot cards not necessary 👍🏻 just skill.

Whenever I think of giving up,I think about Pete and the fact that he never gave up,and I get up and go on.That's his legacy................
Thanks, I think of Arlo Guthrie, Pete S, and my family.
same here mate, same here.
I wish I was just as positive.
The places he’s been where his shoes have walked what his eyes have seen what his hands have played. The people he has known. Makes me yearn with wonder. The good old days is the truth.
that is beautifully expressed. thank you.

Pete Seeger was a national treasure. The Black List was one of the most un-American things to ever happen in the USA.
Yes he was. Too bad the rest of the country didn't know it.
Whenever i get gloomy looking at the state of our world ... i come here .. i go back with hope
Pete knew the dangers of science back then. He was right. Excellent video. Thank you for sharing.
Pete greatly respected his father and quoted him often. I think his father had a lot to do with shaping him.
What a hero.
Wow I love this man

I bet one of the rare stars who didn’t have to sell his soul.
Jesus rest his soul ☺️

I pray he believed in Jesus. ❤
Love You Peter!!!
Lets make that music video he was talking about
Do we even have a full recorded version of the song? It doesn't seem that got published?
Pete, one of the very greats.
beautiful film about a beautiful person.
Pete!
The most respected singer of this century.
Grandfather of folk singing. Not blues ( which greatly inspired him. )
This is extraordinary,as was he.............

Very musically 🎼 inspiring. To draw one into the song. 🎵 To tell your story. To share ideas tride and true.
I miss you, Pete ...
Anyone know the name of the song he describes for the music video idea around 18:00? Can't seem to find it by searching lyrics

This man taught me politics, there's no doubt in my mind that right now he would be doing charity songs for the people of Gaza.
That's a certaintity, a man with great principles!
Where on the Hudson did he live?
Beacon, NY. Beautiful area.

@@SuperOlds88 You never lived there Lightin' lol
What is the name of the tune at the end of the video that he whistles to. Ive been trying to find it and cant, ug
h!
Maybe the new movie will get more people interested in him
Whats the name of that song he is playing while wearing glasses?
Coyote my little friend, one of my Dalmatians, born 1997.
Has anyone looked into creating this "music video" Pete so pationately describes?
Do we even have a full recorded version of the song? It doesn't seem that got published?
Try designing a twelve-string guitar without science.
"There can be such a thing as good science", is literally what he said... He's not against all science..
That's quite primitive actually, all jokes aside.
@@GentlemanMarxist What discipline would you use to figure out the placements of the frets? Tarot cards?
