Friday Jukebox 1.31.14: A Short Tribute to Pete Seeger.

Pete Seeger, the folk legend, died earlier this week at 94. Best known for his ties to communism that resulted in testifying about his connections to communism in 1955 in front of members of the U.S. Congress. Despite his political views (a major turnoff to most people, including myself to this day), he was a great musician. Here on "Where Have all the Flowers Gone," a song that took eons to complete, his talent is shown here. The song is from his 1960 LP, The Rainbow Quest.
