Pete Seeger

Pete Seeger has passed.  The BBC features interviews with Billy Bragg, commenting on folk music, protest songs and the importance of popular protest.  Billy remarks that today, the youth have means to express discontentment.  He's right of course, but are a thousand Twitter posts ever going to be as important as 'Where have all the flowers gone?'?

One thing that is very clear from the interviews Mr Bragg gave.  The chap can sing.

And of course, what is quite obvious, he's probably the best singer/songwriter of love songs recording today. Possibly ever.

You disagree?

By al means, hit 'comments',  - but only after you have listened to 'milkman of human kindness'.

And of course...'St Swithins Day'.
