And, again consistent with Seeger's frequent support of many good causes, all the proceeds will benefit the Ark. In alphabetical order, the musicians are: Chris Buhalis, Kitty Donohoe, Gemini (Laz and, yours truly, San Slomovits), Mustards Retreat (David Tamulevich and Michael Hough) Dick Siegel, Paul Tinkerhess and Matt Watroba.
They will tell stories from Seeger's long, eventful and influential life and, following in the familiar Seeger tradition, will lead their audience in singing along with Seeger-penned classics like "Where Have All the Flowers Gone?
"Turn, Turn, Turn," "The Hammer Song," and "Kisses Sweeter Than Wine," as well as some of the countless traditional and contemporary, American and international folk songs from Seeger's enormous song bag.
Matt Watroba, host of the popular WDET radio folk program, "Folks Like Us," will also play excerpts from a lengthy interview he conducted with Seeger last year.
When Seeger headlined the Ark's annual Folk Festival in January of this year, his Michigan fans could see and hear for themselves that this nonagenarian has not yet hung up his banjo.
