	CD Baby: PEGGY SEEGER: Heading for Home
		Among those accompanying Peggy's vocals, banjo, dulcimer and guitar are her sons, multi-instrumentalists Neill (formerly of The Bible) and Calum (a Van Morrison sideman), who co-produced the CD, her daughter Kitty on backing vocals, and brother Mike, solo artist and founding member of the New Lost City Ramblers.
		Peggy's prominent, rippling banjo gives many of the songs a tinge of bluegrass and "mountain music," closing the circle between their oft-British origins and subsequent American adaptations.
		Like her half-brother Pete and brother Mike, Peggy Seeger simultaneously preserves and extends the situations and plainsung emotions of traditional folk music while emphasizing the undying connections between roots music and modern-day life.

		Although she has now moved back to the US, Seeger became a British subject in the late 1950s, and is so well known in British folk that she was apparently able to address almost everybody in this audience by name.
