A reader sends Pete Seeger Singalong Saturday Feb 1, 4-5:30pm, Columbia Heights Civic Plaza:
“Come out in the (relatively) warm weather to celebrate the life of Pete Seeger and make some folk music outside for the masses in Columbia Heights. We’ll gather in the plaza just north of the Metro.
Bring your voices, your guitars, your banjos, and anything else you’d like to contribute. We’ll pick and strum and sing the classics (This Land is Your Land, If I Had a Hammer, Where Have All the Flowers Gone) and will sing others depending on the inclinations of the group. Anything goes, really.
The more the merrier. No previous musical talent or experience required–just an appreciation for the great man who lives on through all of us.”
