Peggy Quotes: Peggy Seeger: She must be one of the most complete artists around today. - Belfast Telegraph

Peggy Quotes 2: I was at Cambridge Folk Festival this year, and you were my highlight! Listening to you talk and sing about the importance of making conscious life decisions and the impact our seemingly isolated, individual decisions have on the rest of the world really resonated with me, as did your quiet approach to advocating for justice. I was deeply moved, and it was a joy to listen to you.
Thank you so much.

The Long Harvest

THE LONG HARVEST -10 CD set plus 1 CD of notes

Traditional English and Scottish Ballads with older and newer versions and forms based on legendary volumes compiled by Francis J. Child Note: The CD-sets come with copies of the inserts that accompanied the original vinyl LPs. This documentation is in pdf, a form that most, if not all, current-day computers can display, and when printed, the result looks very close to the original inserts. PDF files cannot be searched for occurrences of texts. The individual ballad texts cannot be singled out to be displayed on a computer. At http://71.174.62.16/Demo/Ballads, a website has been put up that makes the texts of these ballads more accessible. The texts of the ballads from both sets of disks, as well as the descriptions of the ballads can all be found there.
