  • Pete Seeger: a Singer of Folk Songs
    LINGUACULTURE 2, 2020 PETE SEEGER: A SINGER OF FOLK SONGS DAVID LIVINGSTONE Palacký University Abstract Pete Seeger would have turned one hundred and one on May 3 of this year. To commemorate these ten decades plus one year, I would like to look at eleven of the most remarkable aspects of Pete Seeger’s life, work and legacy. This paper will examine the cultural impact and oral tradition of the music, songs and books of Pete Seeger. This legendary folk musician's career spanned eight decades and touched on many of the key historical developments of the day. He is responsible for some of the iconic songs which have not only helped define American culture, but even beyond. Seeger was also a pioneer in a number of fields, using his music to propagate political convictions, ecological themes, civil rights, world music, education, etc. The folk singer also had his finger on the pulse of a number of developments in American history and culture. He was friends with a number of prominent musicians and artists and influenced an entire range of younger musicians and activists. Keywords: Pete Seeger; Folk music; American history; Social activism; Civil Rights movement Family Pete Seeger’ family was a powerhouse of talent, musically and beyond. Charles Seeger (1886-1979), his father, was a renowned musicologist who held a number of prominent university positions. His political convictions, obviously on the left, were also instrumental in forming his son’s ideological worldview. His mother Constance de Clyver (1886-1975) was also a musician although not as accomplished by far as his stepmother Ruth Seeger (1901-1953) (mother to Mike and Peggy).

  • Through the Bible Study Song of Solomon 4-8
    THROUGH THE BIBLE STUDY SONG OF SOLOMON 4-8 A son asked his father the inevitable question, “Dad, where do babies come from?” The father figured it was time for THE talk, so he explained the birds and the bees to his son. When the talk was over the little boy looks up at his father, and asked, “Dad, does God know about this?” Well, the Song of Solomon proves that “Yes, God knows about sex.” Sex is not Hollywood’s invention. It was God’s idea. Genesis 1:27 tells us that when God created the male and female, He instructed them to become “one flesh” – that’s a euphemism for sexual intercourse. And whatever God creates, He commands. He has guidelines for every area of life including sexual expression. Make a trip to the local bookstore and you’ll find countless sex manuals from so-called sex-perts. But there’s only one instruction manual from THE authority – from God, the Creator. God designed sexual expression, and He tells us how to experience maximum intimacy and enjoyment in the Song of Solomon. In chapters 2-3, Solomon’s bride, the Shulamite, had flashed back to her country courtship - to Solomon’s proposal - and their honeymoon. The king had come for her in his palanquin – a mobile honeymoon cottage. It was a covered couch, carried on !1 poles, by strong men. The couple made love from Lebanon all the way to Jerusalem. In chapter 4 we eavesdrop in on the lover’s intimate conversation… In verse 1 Solomon speaks to his bride, “Behold, you are fair, my love! Behold, you are fair! You have dove's eyes behind your veil.” Notice, Shula is wearing a veil - in other words, sexy lingerie.

Among its frequent contributors were such writers as Julius Lester, Phil Ochs, Tom Paxton, Malvina Reyn­ olds, Bob Dylan and Pete Seeger. Although many of the contributors were unknown at the time outside of a small circle of friends, their songs were published because of the inherent good qualities of the music. Broadside was a vital element in the development of these artists, providing them with an outlet for their music and with a forum for the exchange of ideas. In recent years the publication had declined to an annual. However, with the cooperation and approval of Sis and Gordon, the magazine is being resuscitated. The announcement that Broadside was returning-as a 20-page month­ ly-was greeted with great enthusiasm by those who were familiar with its past, and subscriptions and words of support have been received from such diverse corners and Brooklyn, Tokyo, Co­ penhagen, San Mateo, Far Rockaway, Monsey and Greenwich Village.
