The banjo-picking witness before the committee was Pete Seeger, and he had
been asked, What is your profession or occupation?
.
I have worked at many things, said Mr. Seeger, and my main profession is a
student of American folklore.
.
Over the next half-century, Mr. Seeger would become more than a student of
American folklore. He would become a vital part of it.
.
The committee would cite him for contempt for refusing to cooperate. But
the committee would fade into oblivion over the years.
.
Pete Seeger would endure.
.
Mr. Seeger, a 20th-century troubadour who inspired and led a renaissance
of folk music in the United States with his trademark five-string banjo
and songs of love, peace, brotherhood, work and protest, died Jan. 27 at a
hospital in New York City. He was 94.

.
For more than 50 years, Mr. Seeger roamed America, singing on street
corners and in saloons, migrant labor camps, hobo jungles, union halls,
schools, churches and concert auditoriums. He helped write, arrange or
revive such perennial favorites as If I Had a Hammer, Where Have All the
Flowers Gone? and Kisses Sweeter Than Wine and popularized the anthem of
the civil rights movement, We Shall Overcome.
.
Once called Americas tuning fork, Pete Seeger believed deeply in the power
of song, President Obama said in a statement. But more importantly, he
believed in the power of community to stand up for whats right, speak out
against whats wrong, and move this country closer to the America he knew
we could be.
.
Over the years, Pete used his voice and his hammer to strike blows for
workers rights and civil rights; world peace and environmental
conservation. And he always invited us to sing along. For reminding us
where we come from and showing us where we need to go, we will always be
grateful to Pete Seeger.
.
Tall and reed-thin, Mr. Seeger was a recognizable figure for generations
of listeners. And with dozens of top-selling records and albums, he became
one of the most enduring and best-loved folk singers of his generation. He
also was one of the few remaining links to two of the 20th centurys early
giants of American folk music: Huddie Ledbetter, the black ex-convict from
Texas and Louisiana better known as Lead Belly, and Woody Guthrie, the
legendary songwriter from Oklahoma.
