For me, the Peggy Seeger concert was a trip to the past -- so many
coffee houses, hootenannies, and sing-alongs in the '50's and '60's, so
much outrage, so much hope, so many dreams. It was a reminder of our
heritage of ballads and story songs -- of our country and its roots in
the Old World. - Lucy V. Parker
First off, Seeger's a daunting multi-instrumentalist, playing guitar, autoharp, banjo, piano, concertina, and of course singing. However, she doesn't just play, she demonstrates a fluency surprising even for an overachiever on the banjo, and her vocals can be either bird-on-a-wire delicate or gusty, ringing with authority and surprising projection. - Mark S.
