Goodbye Pete Seeger! We remember the great folksinger and activist who passed away yesterday with this intimate photograph by Joe Alper. It was taken at the Seeger’s household in 1961. Alper and his wife Jackie, who worked as secretary to the famous ethnomusicologist Alan Lomax, were very good friends of Seeger and the very heart of the folk scene of the late Fifties and early Sixties. Alper would shoot regularly at the legendary Caffe Lena in Sarasota Springs and at The Newport Folk and Jazz Festival. We showcased his beautiful work with Bob Dylan and the folk/blues/jazz greats in our Dylan Before Dylan show last year.
GOODBYE PETE SEEGER.
