Living Earth's Pete Seeger 86th Birthday Celebration
Living Earth's First Friday Community Potluck Friday, May 6, 6:30-9:00 p.m. Friends Meeting House 4312 SE Stark Portland, Oregon
The first week of May is time for celebration-not only for the international May Day festivals of labor and pagan Beltane on May 1, but to honor legendary American folksinger Pete Seeger on his 86th birthday May 3.
Folk music has always been central to people's struggles for justice, autonomy, dignity, democracy, and peace. For some 60 years now, Pete Seeger's inimitable voice has carried the songs of those movements across our land and around the world. As we honor Pete at First Friday, we will also celebrate the immeasurable contribution of
http://seegerfest.blogspot.com/ 05/23/2005 13 :26 The Pete Seeger Birthday Celebration Page 6
countless other folk musicians, both acclaimed and unknown, whose songs and spirits have given voice to our common longings for a better world.
Since people first banded together to claim rights and power over their lives and communities, from drumbeats to reed flutes to banjos and guitars, music has accompanied our laments, stirred up our courage, and given voice to our longing. "All music is folk music, since all music is made by folks," Pete Seeger has said, but the particular style and form commonly known as American folk music found one of its strongest, most principled voices in Pete.
Join us on First Friday when we honor Pete Seeger and folk singers everywhere for their priceless contribution to our culture and to the world
Bring a vegetarian or vegan dish to share, a fiddle or banjo or whatever you play, and join us for our celebration of folk music this month. There is no charge, but donations are what make First Fridays possible.

TUESDAY, MAY 03, 2005 May 3 (Tuesday): Oak Bluffs, Martha's Vineyard, MA
As part of an informal national effort to honor folksinger/ environmentalist Pete Seeger on his 86th birthday, there will be a party at Featherstone Center for the Arts at 6 p.m. on Tuesday May 3rd, on their outdoor stage. This is a free family event for all ages.
In the Woodstock tradition, hillside seating is provided, so bring a cushion! Rain or shine. The party will move indoors, if inclement.
Island folk, including Tristan Israel, and Mark Alan Lovewell, will perform (and you can sing-along to) some of Pete's well-known tunes, such as "Where Have All the Flowers Gone," "If I Had a Hammer," and "Turn, Turn, Turn." There will be anecdotes told by a few folks whose paths have crossed Pete's. Rumor has it that Nancy Jephcote and Sam Carroll may lend their musical talents.
Come enjoy the music and cake and help sing Happy Birthday to a man whose life has contributed much to the great social/political and environmental causes of our time.
In addition to being America's best-loved folksinger and an untiring environmentalist, Pete Seeger is a national treasure. He has been at the forefront of the labor movement, the struggle for Civil Rights, the peace and http://seegerfest.blogspot.com/ 05/23/2005 13 :26 The Pete Seeger Birthday Celebration Page 9
anti-war movements, and the fight for a clean world. His music, beginning with the early folk group, The Weavers, and his activism have given hope to millions of people all over the world. Once blacklisted from national television for being unafraid to voice his opinions, he was given the nation's highest artistic honors at the Kennedy Center in December 1994. In January 1996 he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Featherstone Center for the Arts is located a half-mile towards Oak Bluffs from the "blinker" on Barnes Road, look for the Featherstone sign.

Celebration at Smitty's Little Tavern
From the Courier & Press April 29 article by Roger McBaine:
"On Tuesday, Pete Seeger, the banjo-picking, folk-singing environmentalist, pacifist and human rights champion whose "We Shall Overcome" became the anthem of the civil rights movement, will mark his 86th birthday.
An acoustic banjo purist, Seeger once tried to pull the plug on Bob Dylan's amplifier. That won't keep "Electric" Larry Miller and friends from celebrating Seeger's birthday. http://seegerfest.blogspot.com/ 05/23/2005 13 :26 The Pete Seeger Birthday Celebration Page 19
They'll mark the event at 7 p.m. Tuesday at Smitty's Little Tavern, 2109 W. Franklin St. (812) 423-6280
It's part of a nationwide, unorganized celebration honoring "the grandfather of folk music," says Miller.
Take guitars, banjos and old songbooks if you have them, says Miller. If not, just go and listen, clap along or join in singing birthday songs to a folk legend."
