I know I’ve been slow to update the news column of this site in the new year, but I really must note the passing of Pete Seeger. Over a seventy year career Seeger used music to inspire thought and action, to build community and to generally better the world. Decades ago sildenafil citrate Seeger was one of the first modern artists to search the world for engaging music, translate and adapt songs for an American audience as a way to connect people of all sorts with one another. As you can imagine, I think that’s pretty great.
Watch an older Seeger perform his interpretation of the African children’s song, “Abiyoyo.”

Watch a younger Seeger perform “Down By the Riverside” along with Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee

All Around This World just turned 100! Well, sort of. On May 1 I posted my 100th live webcast video since opening the All Around This World Livestream site this past December. On December 7, 2013, I started the adventure with a whopping 12 videos, each two hours long, recorded during the crazy AATW 24 Hour Marathon. The rest have come one at a time, each and every weekday afternoon in 2014. Every day at about 5pm I appear on Livestream, almost always viagra over the counter live, to celebrate a holiday that’s happening somewhere worldwide by sharing a song from the AATW curriculum. On May 1st, 2014, I posted my 100th Livestream video, marking global May Day festivities with “Ali Alo,” a French song about working hard, which we sing in our Western Europe season of songs. Whatever you’re doing at 5pm on weekdays, take a moment out and join me at new.livestream.com/allaroundthisworld. I promise you’ll learn something new and have a lot of fun doing it.
