I saw him perform twice, once at Oberlin College in Ohio and again at the Blossom Music Center between Akron and CLeveland, when he was touring with Arlo Guthrie.  I still own and play the live double album that came out of that tour.

My favorite Seeger quote:  "It seems as if half the people on earth are unemployed and the other half are overworked."  So true.
