\"LetIn August a book that I had worked on for eight years, Let Your Voice Be Heard: The Life and Times of Pete Seeger <\/em>finally became available to the world. With that length of research and writing time, most people would assume that as the author I managed to locate any material that might be of interest for the project. But a very predictable thing happens when you publish a book. People who read it began to tell you stories, send you photos, or provide research information that you would have loved to have seen\u2014when you were writing the book. So this blog will focus on two things: some of the material that I found, too late to incorporate in the book; and audio, video, or photographic material that can be used to augment the sharing of Let Your Voice Be Heard<\/em> with children.<\/p>\n

At a memorial service for Marcia Brown late this spring, the charming Brian Keough, Department Head, University Libraries at SUNY, Albany, alerted me to the Pete Seeger collection of audio clips and photos in their archives. In one of the audio clips from 1962 Pete hears the song Guantanamera for the first time, sung by Hector Angula.<\/p>\n
