Today fans of
Pete Seeger expressed love, admiration, and a great sense of loss at his
passing. Here are just a few:
From The Hudson Valley via Facebook
We're deeply saddened
at the passing of Hudson Valley legend and American treasure, Pete Seeger. We can't say
enough good things about Pete or thank him enough for the inordinate amount of
dedication he put in to restoring and preserving the beauty of our region, and the Hudson
River, for almost half a century. His work ethic was astounding - performing
for adoring crowds both locally and nationally, into his 90s, decades after
most people would retire. He now belongs to the ages - his spectacular work,
catalog of music, passion and memory will live on, continuing to inspire
generations to come. Rest in peace, Pete - thank you for being you, and
spending so much of your time with us.

His legacy will live on through the countless thousands of lives he touched

Pete Seeger - It was a great honor to
have known him. His performance of his song, "Waist Deep in The Big
Muddy", was the highlight of our 1968 season. What a life he had. "So
long it's been good to know you"

Pete Seeger: 1919-2014
Singer, song writer and a friend of the mighty Hudson River, may you rest in peace. No doubt, you're already jammin' in that heavenly Folk City.
