Oh man that interview with Pete Seeger is priceless

They way she plays is so incredibly economical. By that I mean she doesn’t waste a single movement. Her form is gorgeous to see. Obviously, especially her fingers but also her posture and her facial expression. I love Pete Seeger and I’ve always said he’s underrated as a musician but he’s a bit out of his depth there. She’s so polite and elegant it’s really hard to tell for sure but when Seeger first starts to play along she just kind of slightly glances at him. I get the feeling she was thinking yo dude I got this.

Absolutely precious footage. Thanks for posting that.

I thought she was looking at him for chord changes, but then again Pete is following her.
