PETE SEEGER was a folk icon and musical hero to many including Michael Johnathon. Pete was Michael's neighbor and later would inspire him to become a folksinger. Pete's public TV show Rainbow Quest were the seeds on what became WoodSongs. Read Michael full's thoughts on Pete here.http://woodsongs.blogspot.com/2014/02/pete.htmlFor this special broadcast of WoodSongs, Michael will be celebrating the life and music of Pete with a few close friends and artists.RIK PALIERI is a folksinger from Vermont. When he was fifteen, he taught myself the 5-string banjo from Pete Seeger's book. In the mid 70's he joined up with Pete Seeger and The Hudson River Sloop Singers and became a regular performer at Clearwater events. Back then, The Sloop Singers were a small rag tag army of singing environmentalists that often shared the stage with Pete Seeger. Rik's latest project is following the footsteps of the legendary “The Almanac Singers� made up of Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, Lee Hays &amp; Mill Lampell. Rik and George Mann traveled down the road from Pittsburgh to Los Angeles, up the west coast and then from Seattle to Buffalo, singing at some of the same places and towns, and inviting local musicians to join in, as the legendary “The Almanac Singers� did in the summer of 1941. Rik will be performing with Rick Nestler who is  a musician, ships captain, songwriter, and actor.FRANK HAMILTON toured with the Pete in the Weavers in the early 1960s.

WeaverMa-nia! celebrates the sounds and songs of Pete's legendary folk group, The Weavers. Starting in March, he is conducting a new class "Pete Seeger &amp; The Power of Song" at the Old Town School of Folk Music where Mark has taught since 1986.  Mark is also known for conducting community sings and jams in the Pete Seeger style.CHRIS WALZ spent three and a half years touring the world with the bluegrass band The Special Consensus.
