Interesting — and the description of Pete Seeger as a humble, generous, and well-meaning person certainly parallels my experience with him. I feel as if I practically grew up with him - singing and playing the guitar on stage with him at 10 or 12 years old and having him visit our home many times in the ensuing years. I can’t imagine Pete himself making an issue over ownership of what seems to me to be something that clearly belongs in the public domain. I often find the business of music disturbingly venal as soon as non-musicians get involved.
