a small Christmas gift for lovers of traditional American music . . .

back in the 60s, Pete Seeger hosted a tv program called "Rainbow Quest" . . . each program consisted of Pete talking and singing with all variety of American musicians . . . the following three videos are a sequential record of one of those programs, featuring Pete with June Carter and Johnny Cash (when they were still just friends) . . .

2. Why is this in General Discussion?

and not the Video forum?

4. as I understand it, the video forum is reserved for political videos . . .

this seemed like an appropriate place for a small Christmas gift for lovers of this kind of music . . . just as others are posting Christmas and other seasonal wishes here . . .

3. I had forgotten that I remembered all that

Now I feel really old, but I am glad that I got old deliberately rather than accidentally.
