Continuing Adventures of Pete Seeger Pt 1
In the first of a series of episodes continuing our exploration of the American Folk Revival past the era of the Almanac Singers, Pete Seeger finds himself stranded on a Mississippi Air Base as he begins to realise that he is basically catnip for red baiters. Additional topics include Pete's marriage to his beloved Toshi and his excitement about the possibilities for a better, kinder, and altogether folkier world after the War was over.
