Pete Seeger, 2002
While looking for photographs of John Brehm the other day, I came across a contact sheet with some pictures of Pete Seeger.
Here are a few. I took these photos back in 2002, when Ken and I interviewed Seeger at his home in Beacon, NY, for 1913 Massacre. Pete had a fire going when we arrived. Toshi made pumpkin soup for lunch.
These new scans of 25-year-old negatives read pretty well, at least to my eye.
I must have shot these with a Canon EOS Elan and the Canon EF 50mm 1.4 USM lens, both of which I still have and still use. The scans (hi-res jpegs) were made at Accurate Photo, on 5th Avenue and 18th Street in Park Slope.

This Land is Your Land
Originally posted on August 31, 2025
A timeless ‘protest’ song since 1945.
Let it be noted that in the Canadian version the Great Lake waters include Lake Ontario.
“Nobody living, can ever stop me,
As I go walking on that freedom highway;
Nobody living can ever make me turn me back
This land was made for you and me.”#WoodyGuthrie and 27 other significant covers.

California Stars is one of the Woody Guthrie songs that Wilco and Billy Bragg brought to life by adding music to lyrics Woody left in notebook.
This pair of lines really seems to capture the motivation and encouragement that enables people to work some very difficult, tiring jobs.
“I'd love to feel your hand touching mine
And tell me why I must keep working on”I like this version from 1999.

"As #StevenPressman makes clear in his new #documentary #film, Dust Bowls and #Jewish Souls: Another Side of #WoodyGuthrie, there was another side to #Guthrie and his #songs. As his son, #ArloGuthrie, explains in the film: “My father studied #Judaism and he knew something about it. He never exchanged his faith for something else; he added to his faith. And that something else he added … was a Jewish identity. He understood what that meant traditionally, historically, culturally. And he knew more about Judaism than my zeyde. And so, my bubbe was thrilled.”
It just so happens that Arlo’s bubbe — his grandmother — was acclaimed #Yiddish #poet and #lyricist #AlizaGreenblatt. When Guthrie married Aliza’s daughter, #MarjorieMazia (née #Greenblatt), the two chose to raise their children in #ConeyIsland..."

"What or who came before Woody Guthrie?
(. . .)
It’s certainly true that long before Iggy Pop was hurling himself across stages, the Ramones were stripping rock down to two-minute blasts of speed and the Sex Pistols were making Britain panic, Guthrie was already writing for ordinary people, attacking injustice without compromise, travelling with little more than a guitar, living outside the commercial music industry and treating art as a tool for resistance, including painting 'This machine kills fascists' on the side of his guitar.
His influence can be heard throughout punk’s DNA, and nowhere more clearly than in Joe Strummer, who, before becoming the voice of The Clash, reportedly adopted the nickname ‘Woody’ as a nod to the American songwriter whose politics and drive fascinated him. While Guthrie’s acoustic ballads were a world away from the snarling urgency of the Clash’s ‘White Riot’, they shared the same conviction that songs should comfort the powerless and unsettle the powerful and never exist simply to fill silence.
So, given that Guthrie was punk before the genre had a name, it begs the question where his inspiration come from, and the answer lies not in a recording studio or a rock club, but (at least in part) in the meetings of the 1905 Chicago founded Industrial Workers of the World, better known as the Wobblies, the radical labour union that sought to unite workers across trades, races and nationalities into what it called 'One Big Union'.
Gutherie’s own politics and music owed much to the Wobblies who also understood that people remember melodies long after they’ve forgotten manifesto, something politicians often overlooked, so rather than delivering dry lectures on class struggle, they rewrote hymns and popular tunes with biting new lyrics about strikes, poverty and exploitation, collecting them in the famous Little Red Songbook."

“In the shadow of the steeple I saw my people
“By the relief office I seen my people
“As they stood there hungry I stood there asking
“Is this land made for you and me?”

Woody Guthrie by Al Aumuller, circa 1942 - 'This Machine Kills Fascists' sticker on his Gibson
This guitar has never been found and is considered to many as the “Holy Grail” of vintage guitars.

for a completely mind blowing connection between #woodyGuthrie and modern day nonsense:
woody was a tenant of donald #trump's dad
and had such a bad time with fred trump's #racism, he wrote a song about him:
"old man trump"
Beach Haven is Trump's Tower
Where no Black folks come to roam
No, no, Old Man Trump!
Old Beach Haven ain't my home!in *1954*
talk about prescience

Last day of (virtual) #Woodyfest and it has been a good one.
Highlights thus far have been Crys Matthews (who I adore for her protest songs and the way she get everyone singing along, what folk music is all about) and Agalisiga Mackey Music, the latter singing the most beautiful chilled out old-timey country songs in the #CherokeeLanguage.

#MonicaTaylor and #TravisFite have a nice chill vibe so far in their set at the #WoodyGuthrie Folk Festival, especially this killer song "Tulsa girl"
