Mimi and Richard Fariña live at Rainbow Quest with Pete Seeger (February 26th 1966)





A young couple sit across from each other, a small table in the middle. Pete Seeger, the doyen of the American folk revival, sits in the background as they play in concert. Richard is an assured, confident performer who introduces each song and has an unerring ability to look into the camera as if he were holding an earnest conversation with a friend. The woman, Mimi, is quieter; she communicates in smiles, glances, and half-laughs, but is wholly absorbed and serious when performing. Seeger occasionally intercedes with questions or music or accompanies on the banjo. Mimi and Richard Fariña are guests on his television show Rainbow Quest, a series dedicated to folk music and its contemporary practitioners.
