Pete Seeger’s request

Listen to Pete Seeger on this (see at the bottom of this article).

Sing Out! has been an amazing publication for sharing information, perspectives, and skills within the folk music community for generations. Pete was one of its founders, writes a column for it, and cares deeply about keeping it around

Started back the early folk-movement days, Sing Out’s not-for-profit parent organization is fighting for its life: this puts at risk a number of wonderful resources: “Rise Up Singing,” Sing Out! Radio Magazine, and Pete’s newly revised autobiography “Where Have All the Flowers Gone.” Sing Out! has always operated close to the bone financially, but recent economic conditions, along with the current state of the print periodicals, have come together to put the very existence of the magazine and organization in real danger. If you care about folk music, help us support one of its community’s strongest voices and allies.
