THE PETE SEEGER FILMLegendary singer, activist and humanist Pete Seeger is a cultural icon and now there is a documentary on him. The Frugal Yankee talks not only to the film's director, Jim Brown, but also with the man himself Pete Seeger. The film is called THE POWER OF SONG and the conversation with Pete is simply called PETE SEEGER INTERVIEW. (Audio file)

IN THE SHADOW OF THE MOON
