If ever a man died with few regrets, it's Pete Seeger. His job was never done so he never retired -- his last concert was back in November. He couldn't really sing those last few years, his voice was gone, but it didn't matter -- the audience all knew the words to the songs so all he really needed to do was lead them in song. And he did so, and with amazing beauty as those hundreds of voices gathered together, showing that together, we can create far more beauty than alone. That was his final message, and one far too many of us forget.
