Sad news tonite. Pete Seeger passed away after a full life. I was at the sing along (mainly old soul and rock and roll) after the NLG conference banquet (invited by Seattle folks I knew) in DC. Pete Seeger, who had been entertaining the children in childcare wandered in the banquet room. Without missing a beat, Mike at the piano transitioned from something such as My Boyfriends Back to Guantanamera. Pete Seeger told us the story of the song and then lead us in the singing of it. The original song was about a woman of Guantanamo. The tune lent itself to reporting news of the day over time. Add the lyrics by Jose Marti and here it is. Given to us as a gift by Pete Seeger. youtube/watch?v=1EJ1kZ0yBzg
