  • Pete Seeger
An internet radio/webpage dedicated to the music of peace and positive social change.
"...throughout history, the leaders of countries have been very particular about what songs they want sung,
so some people, beside me, must think songs do something.”  Pete Seeger



Music has been a powerful tool through history to convey the human desire for peace and justice.
The peace message of the early songs such as,"I Didn't Raise My Boy To Be A Soldier" 1914
(most popular song in US in 1915),

 or the parody of Onward Christian Soldiers, "Christians at War",1916 an
American labor/socialist response to the Christian hypocrisy of war making
  has not changed much over the years.
The times and wars may be different,
but the need for peace and justice remains the same.
