Wonderful and layered definition of Folk Music, fitting for the genre. I had the great fortune of singing onstage with Peter Yarrow in about 2002 at a pediatric conference. He was promoting his anti-bullying campaign. Very few people went up to join him when invited. After we sang, I spoke with him and he kissed my cheek - a gesture I cherish and will never forget.
Beautiful recollections, Spook. Sorry to hear about your word-policing episode at The Conference. It was a similar episode that prompted me to write the song, "I'm A Better Anarchist Than You," and it's gotten so, so much worse since I wrote that song 18 years ago or whenever it was. Keep on keeping on, Spook!
Eloquent. A very fine tribute to Peter Yarrow and his deep contribution to America’s journey.
Thank you very much

That is really special.

Hey David. Thanks for the nod. Hope to run into you someday soon.
