About the Magic Penny Award

The 2005 Magic Penny Award honored Ruth Crawford Seeger. A tribute at the 2005 CMN National Conference featured songs from her collections and a filmed interview with her daughter, Peggy Seeger, talking about her mother and her mother's work. Shortly after the conference, the award was presented to Peggy Seeger, who accepted it on her mother's behalf.
