34 days after I wrote a nice letter to Pete Seeger, (famed folk writer, singer and banjo player...he wrote Turn, Turn, Turn which later was a hit for the Byrds) he answered my letter. Today in the mail, I received back the LP cover I sent to him (Darling Corey, his first LP...a 10" on the Folkways label) SIGNED!!
(signed 10" lp)

(close up of right side of LP where Mr. Seeger notes:
Record 1947, Signed 2007. Even though this is probably
so I won't try to sell it as a 1947 era autograph, I still think
it's a nice, personalized touch!)
Hard to believe this record is 60 years old!!
I'm a big folk music fan (also, I'm a big Pete Seeger fan, AND a big LP fan), so this is a welcomed addition to my collection. I'm glad in this day of selling on Ebay, that some musicians still take the time to sign for true fans. While I would never dream of selling this lp, I could see where some people may try to profit from a signature of someone who is (or at least WAS) famous.
In any event, I love my new signed lp, and I hope everyone who entered the contest will receive their favorite musicians signature very soon!!
