Go here
I just heard this sad news about Mary Travers passing. It is not surprising, for she had suffered with her illness for a long time.
...Still- it's a sad loss for me!
My 'fandom' for Mary - Peter and Paul - reaches all the way back to their beginning.
Folk music-and especially this band- was my favorite when my kids were little...way back in the 60s - of course!
I would play their albums and my kiddies and I would sing along and dance to the music! My little boy especially liked 'Puff The Magic Dragon!'
I was very young and really had no idea about the political overtones of some/most of their songs...I was just having fun with my babies!
Thanks, Mary, for your wonderful gift of music!

ReplyDeleteI so remember playing Puff the Magic Dragon often for my boys, we all loved singing along to it. It's so sad to hear that Mary has now passed away but what a legacy she leaves behind. xoxo

Wow, it has taken forever to get this to work. I just wanted to say that I always connect the song, Puff, the Magic Dragon, to my early teaching years. My students loved the song.
ReplyDeleteMary will be missed. She was a wonderful entertainer.
