One way or another, I and so many others can be thankful and grateful for his work in preserving and making available the songs, stories, dances and instrumental playing styles that are so much a part of the history and continuing evolution of the music we hear today. There are not many shows of Spinning Tales From All Walks of Life on which I do not play music by Mr. Seeger or by musicians that he introduced, re-introduced or in some way helped make known to us.
