Folk Musician Mike Seeger died tonight, in hospice care at his home in Virginia,
surrounded by the loving care of his wife, his sons and his sister.
Seeger's research in southern Appalachian folk traditions has positioned him as one
of the leading performers and scholars of this music. This traditional folk music grows
out of hundreds of years of British and African musical traditions to produce
songs and sounds that are unique to the United States.

RIP Mike
