'THIS LAND' CELEBRATED BY SEEGER, CROWD

The famous folk singer from Fishkill, from whom the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. first heard the song "We Shall Overcome," shared some advice Sunday with the man who inherited the famous civil rights leader's staggering legacy.

On Sunday, Pete Seeger performed "This Land is Your Land" with grandson Tao Rodriguez-Seeger and Bruce Springsteen, during a concert at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington staged as part of the presidential inauguration activities.
