Pete Seeger died yesterday.   Still selling out concert halls, and able to make the audience sing along even last year at the age of 93.

“Every kid who ever sat around a campfire singing an old song is indebted in some way to Pete Seeger,” fellow folk singer Arlo Guthrie, son of Woody Guthrie, told the AP.

Not only am I that kid but my father was that kid too.  He used to sing us folk songs accompanying himself on guitar or banjo and my love for the guitar started there.  I am still a huge fan of folk music, bluegrass and related genres.  So, good-bye Pete Seeger and thanks for the inspiration.
