Pete Seeger remembered
I hear that singer songwriter and erstwhile Communist Pete Seeger has died. He was 94. May God be merciful to him and to all who pass to their eternal judgment, each and everyone.
Once upon a time here on this blog I had the occasion to post a variation of one of his songs performed by the eclectic artist in residence Zuhlio. You may remember it:
From 2012… long time agoooo…..

The Official Parodohymnodist of Fr. Z’s Blog has inspired – I don’t know how he does it – has inspired – or even why he does it – has inspired to emerge from retirement
ZUHLIO!
Yes, after the triumphant reemergence from retirement last time to produce his hit song “Lady Tambourine Priest“, after his even bigger hit song “Aging Hippie Paradise“, the urban rapper Zuhlio is back, experimenting with yet another genre.
Zuhlio inexplicably seems to be going back in time in exploring musical styles. Well… what can we say?
We present, in honor of liberal, less and less remembered dissident nuns everywhere,
Where Have All the Sisters Gone? (in the style of the Kingston Trio)
As the Parodohymnodist himself quipped: “Get out your guitars and autoharps.”
Where have all the Sisters gone?
