Күн бұрынPete Seeger performs "If I Had A Hammer (The Hammer Song)" after being introduced by John Mellencamp at the Farm Aid concert in Saratoga Springs, NY on September 21, 2013. Farm Aid was started by Willie Nelson, Neil Young and John Mellencamp in 1985 to keep family farmers on the land and has worked since then to make sure everyone has access to good food from family farmers. Dave Matthews joined Farm Aid's board of directors in 2001.

In 1979 I wrote to Pete as a14 year old, letting him know I was his biggest fan . He wrote back. I wrote again as a 39 year old, pregnant with my second son, thanking him for his lifelong commitment to social justice. He wrote back, again.

I was there. My husband had died in July, and I was going to sell the tickets, but our sons talked me into keeping them so we could go together. Pete Seeger was a totally unexpected addition. I used to sing this song to my sons, so a lot of tears were shed.

Tears are welling up in my eyes listening to this 94 year old legend. The same man who refused to say whom he voted for during the Macarthy inquisitiion, the same man who worked and sang and created his whole life long for the betterment of his fellows. A thousand thanks to Pete. Yours was a life well lived.

I heard Pete sing this with the Weavers in 1949 down in Greenwich Village and I have been listening to him ever since. The voice may be weak, but the spirit is still there. A great singer and a great man.

So sad that the human body degrades so awfully to this point. You can tell the guy is full of so much life at 94. His weak body was the only thing keeping him from living for ever (physically)

The body can only live for so long. Pete was in incredible physical and mental shape right to the end. But decades of bringing happiness to everyone took its toll unfortunately. At his age its hard to know if his passion for music kept him going or wore him out. Living long is almost genetic in his family. His sister lived a long life aswell btw. Either way, we're lucky to have so many recordings of him
