Abstract
I take up the Peekskill riots of 1949 as an allegorical window for our vocation. Many singers of songs were wounded, and some almost lost their lives, at the balled fists and hurled rocks of fearful onlookers. Pete Seeger, one of the peaceful singers, retrieved and cemented in his cabin chimney two of the rocks thrown into his car. My response to teaching evaluations and student response of feeling obligated is the landscape glimpsed through this window.
