Peggy Seeger with guest Peter Siegel

"The world is divided into people who think they are right"....

"The ballads . . . they are my heartsongs. To me, they are the core of our tradition. They have been created, loved, tended, pruned and trimmed by generations of singers so that they are down to their very bare bones. And because their language is so sparse, both the listener and the singer can clothe those bones with any kind of flesh they wish. Every time you sing them, they're different. Yes, the ballads give me endless pleasure. They are also the best antidote I've found for Interstate Hypnosis!"
(Peggy Seeger, Prism Coffeehouse,1996)
