From the perspective of his rich and distinctive musical career, Pete Seeger, 72, is writing a new book on songwriting. “I was going to call it, “A Songwriter As A Joiner,” he says. “It’s a pun because I’ve joined various things throughout my life. Beethoven say, ‘I’m a joiner.’ He was also a cabinet-maker dove-tailing planks together.”

Arlo Guthrie’s ‘mystic’ songwriting journey has led him back to Trinity Church where he wrote his infamous protest song, “Alice’s Restaurant Massacree.”
