Here is a rare reunion of Pete Seeger and Fred Hellerman of the The Weavers singing The Frozen Logger at Kisses Sweeter Than Wine: The Guthrie Legacy Concert in Tarrytown NY, April 2010. The concert was in honour of Jack and Kay's (who met at a 1959 Weavers concert in Montreal) 50th wedding anniversary.

I was a student at George School, a Quaker boarding and day school in Newtown, PA, from 1956 through 1959. Every Saturday during the school year there would be entertainment in the assembly hall in the Main building, primarily for the boarders but sometimes day students would attend as well. Twice during my time there Pete Seeger came to sing for us, solo. Can't help thinking of those concerts without choking up. We students had no idea how iconic Pete was and how important he and the Weavers were in the popular culture of that time. How wonderful the people who sponsored these events for us. Thank you.

Fred Hellerman and Pete Seeger (along with Lee Hayes and Ronnie Gilbert) were and still are the best folk music group ever🙏🏻💖

I recall meeting Pete Seeger in 1966. I was hitchhiking back from the Mariposa Folk Festival and he and his wife picked me up on the highway. They stopped at a grocery store for ice cream and, while Yoshi went inside, Pete asked to borrow the guitar I was carrying with me at the time. He strummed a few chords and I mentioned that I was self-taught. He remarked something to the effect of, "learning to play guitar is like finding your way out of the woods. If you find your way out with a map, you get out faster but if you find your own way out, you learn the woods better". Thank you, Pete, for that and for a lifetime of musical service to the world of humanity--you and your musical compadres, the Weavers!

That’s so cool. He might’ve been staying with my friends the DeWitts who used to put on music concerts near Mariposa. They were friends with so many folk singers including Kate Wolf & Utah Phillips who I was blessed to meet.

Two hopemongers lifting our spirits still. This is now my favorite version of this song that was one of the very few my Mom sang. Happy for the memory of all three.

Just now a 40-year old waitress probably looks pretty good, at least to me. This is one of the first songs I ever learned, in the early 1950s, and I still enjoy singing along.
