" The Albany Times-Union&amp;#039;s Paul Grondahl wrote one of the most moving obituaries you&amp;#039;ll ever read today, and it was about Pete Seeger, so we&amp;#039;ll just get out of the way of it. Here&amp;#039;s how it opens:  &amp;quot;The final song Pete Seeger heard in a New York City hospital as he died peacefully of natural causes on Jan. 27 at 94 was &amp;quot;To My Old Brown Earth,&amp;quot; which he wrote in 1958. Singer-songwriter Pat Humphries led a sing-along with a few close friends and Seeger&amp;#039;s family, who held his hands and encircled his bed.&amp;quot;  Seeger spent the last day of his life surrounded by a family singing his songs. In his final moments, his sister sang songs back to him that he had sang to her as a baby. There&amp;#039;s a story about rocks being tossed at the family car due to Pete&amp;#039;s protest songs decades ago. There&amp;#039;s a story about organizing his final public event \u2013 a January 20th tribute to Martin Luther King in his hometown that he was too sick to attend. Throughout the whole thing, Grondahl outlines Seeger&amp;#039;s bravery that truly never quit, celebrated \u2013 not mourned \u2013 in a hospital room in New York City on the day of his death. But we can&amp;#039;t do it justice. Read it, if just to read the lyrics one more time.      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
