What a wonderful event this will be:

Yup..unfortunately the tickets have been sold out for weeks...long before I found out about it. I'm really bummed!

Too bad it's sold out. I did see this on the site:

PLEASE NOTE: Due to very high demand, tickets to the Seeger Family concert have already sold out. We will have overflow rooms equipped with closed-circuit televisions to broadcast the event. We are also exploring other avenues to see that symposium registrants who were unable to obtain tickets for the concert will be able to hear the Seegers perform. Please understand that we cannot guarantee symposium registrants without tickets a seat in the auditorium or the overflow room. We very much hope that you will still plan to attend the symposium.

Maybe you might get to go to the overflow. Sounds like fun...

Got to see Peggy Seeger on International Women's Day. She's great and a wonderful role model. Speaks her mind without any hesitation at all, not in a negative way.

Article in Wash. Post about Seeger Family and CD made to celebrate Peggy's 70th birthday two years ago:

(article includes audio clip of Peggy Seeger)

Article also includes mention of a concert in Silver Spring MD (at a location about 5 minutes from my home) tonight Mar 17. Of course it's sold out. Audio clips of Peggy and Mike are included in the article: http://ceimd.com/php/public.php?Org=fsg ... &NoTitle=1

Washington Post review of Seeger Family Concert:

"The world is divided into people who think they are right"

This will be a useful line in my daily travels!

That is a great line; I heard it a little different:

"The world is divided into two groups of people, those who think they are right and those who know they are right."

I remember going with my father as a 10 year old (40 years ago) to hear Pete Seeger at the Sydney town hall (Australia). Pete is such a legend- he inspired me then and my love of this kind of music was born
