Sad news for folk music followers

Many of us have enjoyed the mix of the folk music, from traditional to Dylan, presented by the FolknJazz club these last 18 months or so, but yesterday saw the death of one of the most influential figures on the scene, Pete Seeger.
With his group the Weavers, Seeger inspired the movement in the 60's and his song "We shall overcome" became an anthem of the freedom movements, especially the American black rights campaigns.
