Peter, Paul and Mary were an American folk-singing trio who ultimately became one of the biggest acts of the 1960s. The trio was composed of Peter Yarrow, Paul Stookey, and Mary Travers.
I remember in elementary school, our music teacher, Ms. Traeger would teach us how to sing Peter, Paul and Mary’s songs. The fondest memories arise when I think back on those childhood days as we would sing along to all their classic tunes. I listen to those same songs now as an adult and I finally realize that the messages they conveyed were incredibly meaningful, yet done in a simple manner.
About 3 months ago, I started hosting a music program on television in Hong Kong called Jade Solid Gold (JSG). Guess who were the guests recently?
Although sadly, Mary passed away in 2009, your legacy will live on forever thru your music and voice.
Peter, Paul and Mary, thank you for your dedication to making this world a happier place for us all.
I leave you with a few of my personal fave PPM selections..
Just a song about a magical dragon? Or a reminder to keep hold of our childlike innocence?
A Bob Dylan classic covered beautifully by the PPM trio.
