"Another Biblically Based Folk Rock Song for Gino and Other Interested Doves"

Dear Gino and Doves,

One of the first folk rock songs I learned to play was back in 1966 when I was taught the Byrds' version of "Turn Turn Turn"(released in 1965). As you may know the song is based on Ecclesiastes 3:1- 8. Pete Seeger, who wrote the song in 1959, wrote it in the true folk tradition.


I did see it performed by the Byrds in concert a few years later.

Blessings,
Mike
