Utah Phillips Chats with Pete Seeger



Here's an old interview of Pete Seeger by fellow folk musician and committed Wobbly Utah Phillips. The two discuss the history of folk music in America and Pete's proper place within the genre, broken up with a few songs of course.

The interview covers many topics, from McCarthyism, the Communist Party, going broke (repeatedly) and even covers mediaeval ballads. Utah also shares his secret recipe for self turning pancakes.
