Never really liked Pete Seeger stuff much but I like a nice String Quartet so that's what led me here.
I thought I'd share this:

Kronos Quartet and Pete Seeger

It's from a free (if anything is) online magazine called The Bluegrass Situation which I was about to unsubscribe from. Perhaps I'll keep it going. It has an article with more videos.

I learned banjo from Pete Seeger's 'How to play the 5-string banjo' book, and am a big fan.

If I wanted to 'convert' anyone to Pete Seeger, I would probably recommend them to this. My favourite version of Black is the colour of my true love's hair. It's the diametric opposite of the 'happy clappy' Pete Seeger mode:

otis1960: Jo is innocent - I know that for Cittern Oct 24, 2024 12:29:19 GMT

newdave: What on earth are you BASSOON talking about? Oct 24, 2024 18:33:42 GMT

doc: I’m confused. Howevaah! Sex and violins was a touch of elegance!!! Oct 24, 2024 20:25:13 GMT

otis1960: Confused, Doc? Could be a sign of vitamin deficiency - try adding more flute to your diet Oct 24, 2024 21:52:25 GMT

newdave: Fascinating show from BBC Sounds here.... Oct 25, 2024 18:47:13 GMT

leoroberts: Love the new profile pic, doc

newdave: If someone says "bin diversity" do they want more receptacles or an anti woke crusade? Oct 27, 2024 15:07:00 GMT *

otis1960: Or possibly asking in local dialect if someone has attended University? Oct 27, 2024 23:39:55 GMT

otis1960: A few years ago I wrapped similarly-sized apples, onions, and potatoes in foil, and offered the bucket to visiting 'Trick or Treaters' to take a pick. Oct 31, 2024 12:11:02 GMT

otis1960: I thought this wholly in the spirit of 'Trick or Treat', but evidently I was mistaken. It didn't end well. Oct 31, 2024 12:11:57 GMT

newdave: Anyone staying up for the US election result? Nov 5, 2024 22:58:28 GMT

newdave: Anyone staying up for the US election count? Nov 5, 2024 22:58:43 GMT

scorpiodog: No, newdave. BUt I normally wake up at 5:30 so I listened to the depressing news then. Nov 6, 2024 10:05:04 GMT

newdave: I was disappointed too but I don't think I'll really feel it until next year, when it will suddenly become all too real. Nov 8, 2024 19:52:53 GMT

NikGnashers: Nice covering of snow here today Nov 19, 2024 7:20:54 GMT

newdave: Snowing in North London too. And settling. Temperature is probably too high for it to last though. Nov 19, 2024 7:58:48 GMT

borborygmus: We have snow in Northamptonshire. Road is a little slushy but clear. Nov 19, 2024 9:08:40 GMT
