The life of a very cheerful man,
This review is from: Where Have All the Flowers Gone?: A Singer's Stories, Songs, Seeds, Robberies (Paperback)
If you like Pete Seeger (and who doesn't?), you'll like this overview of the folk scene from someone who was and is well and truly at the heart of it it. The book takes the form of a pleasant, almost feelgood ramble through Pete's life, with lots of photos and play-it-yourself music (traditional, his own, Woody Guthrie's..) sprinkled throughout. Overall, it makes a very rewarding read. Oh - and the cover's fantastic.

This review is from: Where Have All the Flowers Gone: A Singer's Stories, Songs, Seeds, Robberies (Paperback)
I happen to love Pete Seeger. This book has song notes, back-stories on songs, and information about Pete - why he wrote songs, as well as the original versions (written) of Pete's songs. Since I've heard variations of many of his songs over the years, it's nice to have this reference book if I am going to sing one of his songs for people. I've been able to reference information for my introductions that make my performances of his songs more sweet, I think. And, there are pictures. A nice edition to a music library if you love folk music and Pete Seeger, in particular.
