'abiyoyo': in memory of pete seeger

I woke up this morning to the news that Pete Seeger had passed away at the age of 94. As a child of the 1980s, Pete Seeger was one of the musicians of my childhood. In his memory, here is a performance of the story-song Abiyoyo from another cultural artifact of my childhood, "Reading Rainbow".


I hope generations upon generations of children to come grow up enjoying Seeger's music ... and learning the often-radical messages within the stories he tells.
