Pete Seeger celebrates his 93rd birthday today, and his musical legacy continues to ripple through the headlines, from Norway, where tens of thousands gathered to defiantly sing one of his children’s song to rebut the evils of hate and intolerance, to New York City, where hundreds of guitarists marched and sang some of the traditional folk songs he celebrated through his historic musical career.

The Occuponics had the honor of marching with Pete when he marched from 92nd Street to Columbus Circle back in October 2011 to express his support of Occupy Wall Street. We learned a lot about what it takes to keep the music happening on a long march, actively appliy these lessons to our work with Guitarmy, a project loosely affiliated with the OWS Music Group.

Thanks to the wonderful friend and folksinger Steve Suffet for turning us onto this great video taken of Pete Seeger in Melburne, Australia, back in 1963. As Steve points out, this video captures Pete doing what he does best: getting a lot of people to sing great solidarity-building songs together.
