Pete Seeger (CD1, Tk11)
Bring Them Home (If You Love Your Uncle Sam) (released in 1969)

This song is also a folk song but is more representative of the protest category. Seeger, who was born in 1919, is the son of Julliard-trained musicians but his goals were not of musical technique and performance; music was the vehicle for his social activism. In this performance, you will notice how his music speeds up and slows down depending on the excitement of the moment and how the audience is reacting to his comments. Also notice how the audience becomes part of the song and feels free to join in the singing and react in agreement to what Seeger is singing.
