Neapolitan

This is for Pete Seeger. I didn't know much about him or his music. Other than the fact Pete Seeger would play a long-neck banjo usually with a capo. But I do remember seeing him on dvd(s) and in movies (or a movie) that I would often watch. There were two things I remember about him the most:

One was when Elizabeth Cotten tells Pete the story who she came to know his family, the Seegers, when she found his half-sister, Penny, lost in a department store, then later went on to work the Seeger family. That story always amazes me how lucky a chance they got to meet, other-wise the world probably wouldn't have known about her.

Another one was in the movie, Alison's Restaurant, when Arlo goes to visit his father in the hospital. Pete was already there visiting Woody Guthrie, with his long-neck banjo and singing him some tunes.

I wish I do better that this, but seeing him on film probably tells more about his kind nature personality than I could.
