I didn’t post too much today…it was hectic, but this video of Pete Seeger strumming his guitar as Emmylou Harris belted it out on the Main Stage was PRICELESS. At 92, he couldn’t be any cooler, I mean take a look at those jeans. I was, no joke, one of 5 people to witness this and to the best of my knowledge the only one to get video.
Epic!
