Founded by Pete Seeger, the Walkabout Clearwater Sloop Club, Inc.
is an independent, not-for-profit outreach organization dedicated to promoting environmental
awareness and social action through song, education, and other activities.
Latest Edition -
The 2009 Revised Edition of Pete Seeger's Singalong Memoir:
Where Have All the Flowers Gone, featuring the Walkabout Chorus on several tracks of the accompanying CD.
This Sing Out! publication includes a wealth of stories, background, and notes on scores of our
favorite songs written or made famous by Pete Seeger.
The CD includes portions of 267 songs to help make clear how to
sing them, and get audiences singing!.
As a chartered sloop club
of
the Hudson River Sloop Clearwater, Inc., we take our
boat - a seven-foot-tall replica of the Clearwater - inland where the "big sloop"
can't go. Along with the Walkabout Chorus, the boat carries the message of environmental
education and social action.
The Walkabout Clearwater Coffeehouse
is located at the Memorial United Methododist Church in White Plains.
Pete Seeger was the very first Walkabout Coffeehouse performer in January 1989
(see review in the NY Times) , and at the 20th anniversary Coffeehouse in
January 2009, and often in between.
The Walkabout Coffeehouse pioneered the innovative "Teachabout" so those who come
learn the songs they can carry on themselves to kids, family, friends.
Walkabout is a member of the Westchester Council for the Arts and a Cultural Partner with the
Caramoor Center for the Arts. Look for activities of both partners.
