[78-L] Seeger, Weaver 78s?

[Robert Shirer]

I should follow up: most of my knowledge of what to hunt for comes from the 
Seeger discography in Dunaway's biography "How can I keep from Singing".
I haven't seen Pete in concert for a long time, but he was always wonderful. 
I think the last time was probably at the Nebraska State Fair, when he 
performed together with Arlo Guthrie; must have been twenty years ago or so. 
Glad you were able to see and enjoy the show.
Cheers,
Bob Shirer
