"Seeger, one of the towering figures of American folk music, believed in songs as tools that could transform society bit by bit, but he also subscribed to the social aspect of songs. The songs he played were written by the people and for the people, folk music in the truest sense of the word ...

The only thing that is missing is the lyrics. For someone who valued the words of the music so much, it seems strange not to have the lyrics to the songs Seeger sang, but presumably they can be found on the internet".

Though Seeger is best known for his delivery of protest songs and the way that he casually boiled down the complexities of war, peace, and social equity to digestible, understandable tidbits ...".
