A Seeger Family Tribute” at the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. in 2007. From the Seeger family tribute collection, 2007 March 15-17, AFC 2007/006:MV06). The American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress challenged musical artists to interpret material from its unparalleled archive of ethnographic recordings of traditional folk music.

The showcase was recorded for this webcast.
