Kisses Sweeter Than Wine

Some love songs are merely pretty ornaments only transformed into mature, sublime expressions of the heart when performed by master musicians. Kisses Sweeter Than Wine is one of those songs. Jackson Browne, Bonnie Raitt, Jimmie Rodgers and Pete Seeger and the Weavers, who wrote it, are among such masters.

Pete Seeger; An American Hero

There are so few true champions among us. For reminding so many for so long to be less afraid to carry a hammer, ring a bell, or simply sing a song of freedom - and for doing it with compassion, dignity and courage - Pete Seeger is such a champion. Thank you, Pete Seeger.
