Pete Seeger – We Shall Overcome

This week in honor of all that has happened with marriage rights; I thought an album by legendary folk singer and protester, Pete Seeger would be appropriate for our “Pick”. This record was recorded live at Carnegie Hall in 1963 and released later that year. These are the songs that fueled the fires of protest. Pete was called a Communist for his beliefs but he only wanted equality and fairness. Don’t we all want the same things? Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Happy Independence Day.

This week we have a fun new find from our recent buying trip. The “Pick of the Week” are a great pair of Solid Brass Antique Car Horns. These are from the early days of automobiles, back when horns weren’t a standard feature. Sometimes these kind of horns were used on carriages. Both horns have their reeds and original mounting brackets. As you can see both are missing their bulbs. Those are easily replaceable and available online.
