Peggy Quotes: She is an irreplaceable repository of significant songs . . . direct, humanized music for real-life situations. Larry Kelp, The Tribune, Oakland, CA

Peggy Quotes 2: Seeger the folk singer from New York, offers us a remarkably unique style on this song; her vocals bend, twist and turn shaving off any kind of traditional approach to her genres. The beats and guitars compliment Peggy’s soft and laid back melodies.
