An interview with Pete Seeger by Michael Enright on CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) radio, conducted & broadcast on March 13, 1995. In glorious monophonic, from before CBC AM became "radio two" and moved to FM.
Interview conducted shortly before Pete did a spring tour with Arlo. He was 75 at the time, and in good humour as always. Declining to sing, Pete picks a couple of tunes. A lovely slice of Pete I'm sharing here in his honour. It's hard to say somebody's death is untimely when they live healthy and active to 94, and their lifelong partner passed a few months prior, but I'll admit I'm saddened, I guess I just thought he'd always be there. But the world is not smaller for his passing, rather it's infinately larger for the life he led. Happy trails, Pete, tell Abiyoyo I say hello!

I ripped this from a CD burnt after my original transfer, as i cannot locate the original FLACs i uploaded here years ago. So the lineage for this torrent would be:
Mono AM broadcast > TDK120 cassette > iMic > Azureus (fades, track splits) > AIFF > Roxio Toast (burn CD) > XLD (rip from CD to FLAC, 100% log included).
