Turn Turn Turn, as recorded by the Byrds is one of the go to tunes whenever I need a pick me up. This is one of those songs that has been covered by almost everybody who is anybody in music. If my memory serves me correctly, it was the only song that ever bumped the Beatles out of the number one spot on the hit parade.

Here is an excellent video with Pete Seeger telling how he wrote the song, and David Crosby Roger Mcguinn telling how they "rocked" it. http://www.teachertube.com/viewVideo.php?video_id=97796

Ecclesiastes 3 has been around for thousands of years, I am so glad that I was there, and very young, the year someone created a beautiful piece of music from it.

Thanks Pete.
