I've always loved this beautiful song but never learned it. It occurred to me
that I first heard the Byrds hit version on radio when I was 6 years old and my
little boy is 6 now. The other coincidence is I was born the year Pete Seeger
put this to music.

From Wikipedia:
"Turn! Turn! Turn!" is a song adapted entirely from the Book of Ecclesiastes in
the Bible (with the exception of the last line "I Swear It's Not Too Late") and
put to music by Pete Seeger in 1959. Seeger waited until 1962 to record his own
version of it, releasing the song on his The Bitter and the Sweet album on
Columbia Records. The song became an international hit in late 1965, when it was
covered by The Byrds, reaching #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and #26 on the
UK Singles Chart.

A friend who I jam with reguraly asked me if Bob wrote that song. I thought that was pretty funny,but it does sound a song he might have written. Keep on Bobbin!
