I'd like to thank the person(s) responsible for putting on 'Rainbow Quest'. As an Aussie, l got to find out who Pete Seeger was only in the last half dozen years or so. This man, was one of a kind. Truly a treasure to all past goods things about America. Add in Mr Rogers and Bobby K, and you had a trio of wonderful souls.
