    The latest Friday Night Folk presentation in New London — taking place, ah, Friday — is their 5th annual Pete Seeger Tribute Concert. How much do you know about Seeger? Take this short quiz:

    True or False:

    1. Seeger and Woody Guthrie used to put on disguises and show up at open mic hootenannies to ridicule new artists.

    Nah, not even I can go through with this. (It's false, of course.)

    Seeger was one of the good folks — pun intended. As a songwriter and an activist, he was everything a human should be. It's not surprising then that a fine cast of local musicians will show up to pay homage at the show, which takes place in Unity Hall at All Souls UU Congregation. Sherwood, The Carolans, Nick Evento, Jim Carpenter, Kate Callahan, Kristen Graves, Dan Spurr and Liz Larson, Geoff Kaufman, Hugh Birdsall, Bill Groth and Sue Frankewicz will contribute their talents to the event.

    Pete Seeger Tribute Concert, Friday Night Folk, 7 p.m. Friday, Unity Hall, All Souls UU Congregation, 19 Jay St., New London; $20 donation requested, reservations required; (860) 443-0316.
