Pete Seeger

Peter Seeger died today at the age of 94. He had a long life and it made my heart feel good that he lived as long as he did. Of all the musicians I met in my life, he was among the best. I met him and his wife many years ago, through Ann and Frank Warner, who were friends of his. After living in Nashville and meeting many of my favorite musicians, I found to my dismay that the ones I liked best were usually the biggest jerks. Pete Seeger stood out from all the rest. His heart was pure, and the messages he gave through his music were awesome. I sang his songs throughout my own musical career, and I thank him for the privilege of being able to sing them. Rest in peace Mr. Seeger. You have left an amazing legacy.
