Sailing Down My Golden River

Pete Seeger’s poignant ode to his beloved Hudson River. I played it as close to the way Pete did it as I could, using my Woodstock-built Veillette 12-string. Pete personified the Hudson River for me, and I can picture him sailing on the Clearwater or just gazing out from his hillside cabin overlooking the river and the Mid-Hudson bridge. Fittingly, this song was originally recorded for my friend Marc Black’s CD that raised awareness of the problems of hydro-fracking. Pete certainly would have approved.
