The Golden Thread: A Song for Pete Seeger

Colin Meloy

With dazzling, lyrical verse in the folk revival style, Colin Meloy pays tribute to Pete Seeger, a visionary who changed the world with song.

Pete Seeger once sang that if he had a golden thread, he would use it to weave people from all over the world to one another. That golden thread, for Pete, was music.

Born into a family of traveling musicians, Pete picked up his first instrument at age seven. From then on, music was his life, whether he was playing banjo for soldiers during World War I I, rallying civil rights activists and war protesters with songs such as " We Shall Overcome", " Where Have All the Flowers Gone? ", and " If I Had a Hammer" or leading environmental efforts to clean up the Hudson River.

For decades, Pete Seeger's messages of universal understanding and social and environmental justice inspired generations - and have left a lasting legacy.
