一生致力為人民發聲的美國民歌之父、阿巴拉契亞的吟遊詩人
 
1996年入選美國搖滾名人堂，他的專輯曾在1997年獲得葛萊美獎最佳民謠專輯，不過相信他最在乎的還是彈著他最愛的斑鳩琴，為弱勢族群爭取權力。
 
皮特·西格（1919年5月3日－2014年1月27日）生於美國紐約曼哈頓，著名民謠歌手，也是民歌復興運動的先驅，有「美國現代民歌之父」之稱。皮特·西格一直參與各種抗議活動，從民權運動、反越戰，到較近期的環保活動，他的歌聲被不同的人翻唱，他的身影也總是出現在這些抗議活動的舞台上。
 
Pete Seeger took an interest in playing the 5-string banjo when he was 16 years old after he heard it played at the 1935 Asheville Folk Festival in North Carolina. It wasn't long after, when he was able to have a short lesson with banjoist Bascom Lamar Lunsford, known as the Minstrel of the Appalachians, where Seeger learned the basics of what would become his basic strum. From then on, Seeger made it a point to seek out, listen to, and learn from any banjo players that he met in his travels, learning a number of different playing styles which he experimented with in backing up his vocals.
 
This book looks at the techniques he was using when he was a member of the Almanac Singers in 1941, seven years before the publication of his first banjo method. Join Pete Seeger as he was evolving his early playing technique through the mid-1950s at the dawn of the folk music era!
