A prolific songwriter, Pete’s best-known songs include "Where Have All the Flowers Gone?" "If I Had A Hammer,” and "Turn! Turn! Turn!"
Pete died last January, but in his 94 years he helped popularize dozens of songs like “Irene, Goodnight,” “We Shall Overcome,” “Guantanamera” and “This Land is Your Land.”
“We want folks to come and help us sing the songs of Pete Seeger,” says group leader, Gale McNeeley. “We even have a dozen ukuleles for folks to play.” Gale says, “If you loved Pete and his music, come and celebrate them both.”
Gale McNeeley and Betty Faas have appeared at the Ojai Art Center for many years in shows such as “Archy & Mehitabel,” “Over the Rainbow,” “A Jacques Brel Cabaret,” and last year, “Songs and Satire.”
“We want folks to come and help us sing the songs of Pete Seeger,” says Gale. “ We even have a dozen ukuleles for folks to play. If you loved Pete and his music, come and celebrate them both.”
