“I grew up listening to my grandfather's stories of our musical past. He would often talk about the orchestras that played at concerts and the musicians who played on Sunday evenings on street corners. By the time I grew up in the '80s, all of this was a thing of the past. I lived vicariously through his stories and often wondered what it would have felt like to have been part of his generation.” Has BeensStoriesPastFeltGenerationsStreetsListeningGrewGrew UpMusicianMusicalCornersEveningSundayConcertsGrandfather80sOrchestraMy GrandfatherStreet CornersSunday Evening Author:Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy

“Back then I was still listening to rhythm and blues, and my aunt took me to see a Pete Seeger concert. And it gelled. He made all the sense in the world to me. I got addicted to his albums, and then Belafonte and Odetta - they were the people who seemed to fuse things that were important to me into music. I think Pete the most because he did what he did to the point where he took those enormous risks and then paid for them.” PeopleThinkingWorldMadeStillsImportantRiskListeningPaidAlbumsEnormousRhythmConcertsAuntFuseRhythm And Blues Author:Joan Baez
