  • Pete Seeger, Songwriter and Champion of Folk Music, Dies at 94
    Pete Seeger, Songwriter and Champion of Folk Music, Dies at 94 By Jon Pareles, The New York Times, 1/28 Pete Seeger, the singer, folk-song collector and songwriter who spearheaded an American folk revival and spent a long career championing folk music as both a vital heritage and a catalyst for social change, died Monday. He was 94 and lived in Beacon, N.Y. His death was confirmed by his grandson, Kitama Cahill Jackson, who said he died of natural causes at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital. Mr. Seeger’s career carried him from singing at labor rallies to the Top 10 to college auditoriums to folk festivals, and from a conviction for contempt of Congress (after defying the House Un-American Activities Committee in the 1950s) to performing on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial at an inaugural concert for Barack Obama. 1 / 13 Pete Seeger, Songwriter and Champion of Folk Music, Dies at 94 For Mr. Seeger, folk music and a sense of community were inseparable, and where he saw a community, he saw the possibility of political action. In his hearty tenor, Mr. Seeger, a beanpole of a man who most often played 12-string guitar or five-string banjo, sang topical songs and children’s songs, humorous tunes and earnest anthems, always encouraging listeners to join in. His agenda paralleled the concerns of the American left: He sang for the labor movement in the 1940s and 1950s, for civil rights marches and anti-Vietnam War rallies in the 1960s, and for environmental and antiwar causes in the 1970s and beyond.

  • Weston Voices the Oral History Project of the Weston Historical Society
    Weston Voices The Oral History Project of the Weston Historical Society An Interview with Fred Hellerman Part I: April 5, 2016 Fred Hellerman was known world-wide as a folk singer, guitarist, producer, and song writer. He was also an original members of The Weavers, one of the most famous and influential folk groups of the last half of the 20th century, writing or co-writing some of their greatest hits. Accused, along with the rest of The Weavers, of having Communist sympathies, he and the group were blacklisted during the McCarthy era and unable to perform on television, radio, or in most music halls. The group broke up in 1952 as a result, but resumed singing in 1955. They continued together until 1963 (with changes in personnel). The Weavers held several reunion concerts in 1980s, documented in the film, “The Weavers: Wasn’t That a Time!” Hellerman was also known for producing Arlo Guthrie’s hit record album “Alice’s Restaurant” (1967) and wrote, backed, or produced for many other well-known performers, Joan Baez and Harry Belafonte among them. Hellerman has been interviewed extensively but an overview of his career by Bruce Eder can be found on the “All Music” website. Ken Edgar, a Trustee of the Weston Historical Society, conducted two interviews with Fred in the Spring of 2016. The first focused largely on Hellerman’s childhood in Brooklyn, his musical and political influences, and the start of The Weavers. In the second interview Fred was joined by his wife Susan Lardner and together they talked about coming to live in Weston in 1968 to join the many other creative people from New York already here.

  • Lead Belly and His Legacy of Southern Song a Smithsonian
    Lead Belly and His Legacy of Southern Song A Smithsonian Folkways Unit of Lessons Designed by: Patricia Shehan Campbell and Bethany Grant-Rodriguez University of Washington Summary: This unit of four stand-alone or progressive lessons celebrates Lead Belly, a Louisiana-born songster who remembered, invented, and passed on a legacy of songs that opens ears and minds to the world of the American south in the late nineteenth century and first half of the twentieth century. The ballads, blues, work songs, and singing games in these lessons celebrate an African American sensibility that can be enjoyed in school settings by listening and participatory singing and playing. With such musical engagement can come a deeper understanding of the life, times, and place of Lead Belly and his early years on the plantation, his consciousness of the daily grind of manual labor, and his later experiences as a conveyor of southern song on radio and in on-stage concerts, clubs, and classrooms. For children and youth, the complexities of Lead Belly’s life and times are caught up in these songs. His troubled years landed him in prison, where he learned songs from his inmates in Louisiana and Texas, when he worked on a chain gang until his time was served. (The reasons for his incarceration may not make for classroom-appropriate discussion, although the songs he acquired there became standard repertoire for him.) They lead to an exploration of the U.S. South in the post-Civil War period and the Jim Crow years, in the rural and remote places where sharecropping was common and where racial inequities were continued long past official declarations of freedom.
