The world can be a dark and sad place at times, but then you look at Pete mastering the banjo, unleashing his distinctive voice, with a face that exudes peace, humanity, happiness, and love, and all seems right with the world. What an incredible human being that man was who will live long in our memories.

Hi from New Zealand, More importantly, what a sound they make as a trio, music has no boundaries, it and doesn't discriminate. Gotta love it!

Gosh, this makes me so happy! My dad used to sing this song to me when I was a girl.

Pete showed a ton of class. He stopped his pickin' and went hamboning so as Sonny's harmonica could be heard well. Quite the story about when and how these films were made and what it took to preserve them. Check the story out on wikipedia> en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow_Quest ...and May God bless all who patronize the arts.

Forgive me my ignorance - I knew this tune only from 'Rio Bravo' until now. Who wrote it or is it a traditional?

Andy Wolf, "Cindy" (Get Along Home Cindy) is a folk song. There's no known composer/s. Read the discussion at mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=91633 "Origins: 'Cindy Cindy' - how old is it?" for lots of information about early song sources and versions of "Get Along Home Cindy". Among the other comments in that discussion, read Q (Frank Staplin), Date: 28 Oct 10 - 02:15 PM who highlights a precursor or variant of "Cindy" entitled "Ain't I Goin'" which was "Brought from Arkansas to Western Nebraska, 1882." Chorus 2 of that song is: "So get along home, Si and a Cindy! Get along home, Si and a Cindy! Get along home, Si and a Cindy! Take your time and go." snip That commenter quoted ""From the dialect, negro origin may be inferred from Stanza 1 and 3. Its persistence may be due to the idiosyncracies of the singer,- a white boy who had lived in Tennessee, Arkansas and Missouri." He also cited Jour. American Folklore, 1915, vol. 28, no. 108, pp. 171-172 (of 262-289). Edwin F. Piper, Some Play-Party Games of the Middle West snip I'm sorry about the lower case letter "n" which is quite offensive to African Americans like me nowadays.

Ooh, I'm sorry to argue with most of you, but this song, from Sonny terry and BROWNIE McGEE! was already an amazing thing, I'm afraid Pete Seger just used his white priveledge and access to the press to promote himself as playing with those who were already GREAT, but didn't have the publicity machine at their disposal, I mean, have another look at it, from the FIRST break, the harmonica break, when sonny terry is "supposed"to play a lead role, what happens? the BANJO comes in LOUDER and overpowering, it happens in the next verse and again in the next chorus, where's the original rythm provider, oh, AND vocalist? Brownie McGhee?? Watch the vid again, how "silenced"was he? personally, as a lifelong admirer of the duo, I actually find this pretty offensive today.
