| Musical
director on
Harry Belafonte's 1977 European Tour and on the album Turn The World Around. His professional debut as a pianist happened at age 12, in Rio Claro (São Paulo) and later moved to the capital, playing nightclubs. In the 60s, Dom moved to Rio de Janeiro, joining Copa Trio, who used to back up Elis Regina, Quarteto em Cy and Jorge Ben. In 1965, he lined-up a new trio, named Trio-65, touring Europe along with Edu Lobo and others. They made an album in Germany. He also performed in the U.S. with Elza Soares. Back to Brazil, Dom recorded with the group Abolição, comprised of black musicians only, and that would be the embryo for the legendary Banda Black Rio. He later settled in the United States. |

Pete
Seeger |
 |
| Arlo Guthrie wrote in 1992, "You can’t put in words what Pete taught us all." In any event, it’s impossible to describe even the mechanics of Pete’s contribution to traditional and contemporary folk music in one tiny entry, but we’ll have to make do: Pete travelled widely in the 30s and 40s with people like Woody Guthrie and Leadbelly, singing American traditional songs of all types, and in the process, popularizing the banjo and 12-string guitar as folk instruments. He joined the Almanac Singers, People’s Songs and the Weavers; in the late 50s he set out on his illustrious solo career. He is also a superb songwriter. Some of his best work includes "Where Have All The Flowers Gone" (the version we know is Pete’s original, but with verses 4 and 5 from Joe Hickerson), "If I Had a Hammer" (with Lee Hays), and "Turn, Turn, Turn" (a setting of words from Ecclesiastes). His song from the late 60s called "Waist-deep in the Big Muddy" was a rather strong putdown of Lyndon Johnson’s escalation of the Vietnam war, and probably kept him off commercial TV (but see Rainbow Quest). He has written extensively for Sing Out! ("Appleseeds") and has published a number of books, such as "The Incompleat Folksinger", "Where Have All the Flowers Gone", and "Henscratches and Flyspecks". Perhaps no other person has had such a profound effect in stimulating interest in traditional and contemporary folk music. Truly a legend in his own time. | |

Mark
