1. Oh no, niyad.

I had not heard.

I grew up with them, as most of us did.

I am going now to watch the videos you posted and cry a little.

So many beautiful people that helped shape us are gone.

3. K&R! Loved Peter, Paul and Mary, grew up listening to their wonderful music

My mother actually saw them in the '60s, was an usher at a concert in our small town, and I was lucky enough to finally see them in the '80s, a reunion tour at a much larger venue. Mary Travers had the voice of an angel, truly one of a kind...

6. how wonderful that both you and your mother got to see them in person.

[Rhiannon12866]

8. It was very cool, though I always wished I could have seen them in their early days

Like my mother did. But I was totally fascinated just to see them at all, always thought Mary was so beautiful, and that voice! And when I saw them, it was with my grandmother.

9. unfortunately we are still the worlds biggest war loving society :-( nt

10. I know. And I blame those who refuse to learn from history.

I was fortunate to grow up listening to the anti war message from the incomparable likes of Peter, Paul and Mary, Bob Dylan and their contemporaries. Now, most everyone is saying the invasion of Iraq was a terrible mistake. Those of us who were paying attention knew that it was an awful mistake at the time. I took part in those anti war marches - the ones that we never saw on the TV news.

11. It was my good fortune to have seen them 3 times in my life. Individually & together...

... Peter, Paul, and Mary are wonderful. Hearts and souls for justice and peace.

Thanks for the memorial tonight.

I envy you and am happy for you at the same time. Okay...I'm a jealous mess.
