Rest In Peace, Pete

I'll always remember Pete Seeger's performance in 2009 at George Wein's Folk Festival 50.  It seemed like just about every musician from the day had joined him on stage for a spirited finale. I vividly remember the look of joy on the performers faces as they sang "Guantanamera."

I had the biggest smile on my face as I captured these images. I was overcome with the feeling that I was a part of a special moment in time.

Judging from the look of admiration on the other musicians' faces as they lovingly watch Pete perform, I can see they probably felt the same way. You can listen to the set on NPR: Here

Rest in peace, Pete. Newport will miss you. Your legacy lives on.
