I think I was twelve when my parents gave me a new Pete Seeger lp. They knew I loved his music; I’d listened over and over to "We Shall Overcome: The Carnegie Hall Concert" and knew most of the songs, or at least their lyrics, by heart. I’d memorized most of the songs on the "Children’s Concert at Town Hall," and forty years later I can get a good laugh from any kid by singing "Where have you been all the day long, Henry my boy?" with its gross, lugubrious "greeeeeeeeen and yeller" chorus.
But this was a new disc, and I’m quite sure my folks just went into the store and grabbed something off the shelf. After all, Pete had a lot of albums, and they were all pretty much the same, right?
Well, actually, no.
