Alec Wilkinson, author of The Protest Singer: An Intimate Portrait of Pete Seeger, visited Seeger at his home in Beacon, NY. Out of their conversation came a series of videos ranging from such topics as Bruce Springsteen to Thoreau. This week, Alec and Pete talked about The Byrds’ excellent rendition of Pete Seeger’s classic song, “Turn, Turn, Turn!”
Each week, we will be revealing another video from Wilkinson’s visit, culminating in a special performance from Pete Seeger on his birthday, May 3rd.
To be a part of Seeger’s birthday celebration, check out the event on Facebook. Otherwise, stay tuned here for more videos!
