Eloquent. A very fine tribute to Peter Yarrow and his deep contribution to America’s journey.

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!
