We all remember Pete Seeger, the long, lanky troubadour playing his long neck, 5 string banjo and leading the world in some of our favorite folk songs. Well, Pete's no longer here on earth, but his spirit, his commitment to a better world, and most importantly his great songs are still alive & with us. This program is Barry's newest, having been commissioned by The Sun Foundation of Central Illinois. Audiences get to ride along in the boxcars with his pal and mentor Woody Guthrie, learn what it's like to hitch hike across this great country with only a banjo & a song as your companion...and get to know how he earned his place in musical history with iconic songs such as “If I Had A Hammer”, “Turn, Turn, Turn”, “The Sinking of the Reuben James”, and of course “Where Have All the Flowers Gone” and others. Guaranteed to get the audience singing along to some of our best loved folk songs.
