Toshi and Pete Seeger defy description except through the sheer joy and honor it was to know them, however briefly. Their list of accomplishments will fill many printed pages, which all pale next to the simple core beauty of the lives they led. They showed us it’s possible to live lives that somehow balance political commitment with joy, humor, family, courage and grace. All of which seemed to come as second nature to them, even as it was wrapped in an astonishing shared talent that will never cease to inspire and entertain. Pete passed on Monday, at 94, joining Toshi, who left us last year, at 91. They’d been married nearly 70 years. Somehow the two of them managed to merge an unending optimism with a grounded, realistic sense of life in all its natural travails and glories. Others who knew them better than I will have more specific to say, and it will be powerful and immense. Follow link to read more.
