Pete has been an influence on me since my teens. He was always left of me in his politics but his heart was always in the right spot in my book. He was the same age as my father, born the same month in 1919. His concerts were always participatory events. I loved being able to sing along. My storytelling tends to also be participatory. I love to have my audience join. in. After I tell a story I love to encourage from the listeners anecdotes, memories, or just conversation that the story elicits in them. Participation, how important that is in a republic. If the people do not understand their crucial participatory role the republic cannot endure.
