Source: The Porterville (California) Recorder Posted: Monday, January 27, 2014, 11:25 pm (CA time) Associated Press Pete Seeger, the banjo-picking troubadour who sang for migrant workers, college students and star-struck presidents in a career that introduced generations of Americans to their folk music heritage, died Monday at the age of 94. Seeger's grandson, Kitama Cahill-Jackson, said his grandfather died peacefully in his sleep around 9:30 p.m. at New York Presbyterian Hospital, where he had been for six days. Family members were with him. "He was chopping wood 10 days ago," Cahill-Jackson recalled. |
From his New York Times obituary —
"Planning to be a journalist, Mr. Seeger attended Harvard,
where he founded a radical newspaper and joined the
Young Communist League."
From yesterday morning's Log24 rosemary link —
"I'll be seeing you in all the old familiar places."
