On the Passing of Pete Seeger
The Ulster County Legislature joins today in the mourning of legendary singer, songwriter, and activist Pete Seeger. Pete’s music lives in the mountains of Ulster County. From Woodland Park and Woodstock to Kingston and New Paltz, the man and his five string banjo could bring people from all walks of life together. He may have opened Woodstock 1969 but his music never left these mountains. It has been heard at benefit concerts throughout the region, up to and until his health would no longer allow it.
