Rev Gary Davis in fine form

Fascinating bit of footage featuring the Rev Gary Davis (and Pete Seeger on banjo).

Pete Seeger

I hear Pete Seeger has died. See here. I was looking for a version of Turn Turn Turn but spotted this. I remember my mother singing this gospel song that he re-discovered. I notice it includes the line "meet my mother on the other side". You betcha.
