Feeling down?
When you have the blues, there's a great way to gain some hope and perspective. Listen to Larry Long's version of Pete Seeger's "Well May The World Go." In addition to doing Seeger proud by conveying the right amount of optimism and conviction, the track contains excerpts from an interview Long conducted with Seeger. Pay particular attention to the section in which Seeger responds to those who claim there's no hope for the human race. His "Did you expect..." questions and the conclusion he reaches are moments of beauty. The world lost a great, idealistic realist in Seeger on January 27.
