"Tomorrow's Children," a CD by Pete Seeger with The Rivertown Kids and Friends, featuring former students from J.V. Forrestal Elementary School in Beacon, won the Grammy for Best Musical Album For Children on Sunday.Enjoy!
"I can't really believe it really happened," said Elyse Fox, 11, of Beacon, a sixth-grader at Rombout Middle School who sang on the CD and is a current member of The Rivertown Kids. "I feel like I'm just in a big dream. I'd like to thank Pete. If it wasn't for him, we wouldn't have been on the CD and we wouldn't have gotten this Grammy."
The award — Seeger's third gramophone statue — was handed out Sunday afternoon by comedian Kathy Griffin during the 53rd Grammy Awards Pre-Telecast Ceremony in Los Angeles.

Congrats to Pete Seeger and the Rivertown Kids!
Not sure how I missed this, since I am a big Pete Seeger fan.
