Pure Pete Seeger

The wit, wisdom, and song of one of America’s best-known bards comes to life in this program, which offers a rousing musical portrait of the beloved and often controversial folk singer, songwriter, storyteller, and activist. On the eve of Seeger’s 75th birthday, Bill Moyers visited him at his home in New York’s Hudson Valley for a warm and often wryly funny conversation about his life and times, and the music that has both reflected and impacted them. Throughout the program, Seeger’s guitar and banjo are never far from his hands, and he strums and sings his way through some of the songs that have meant the most to him in his life. (60 minutes)
