Mary Travers, of Peter, Paul and Mary fame, passed away today from leukemia. She had battled the illness for several years, even received a bone marrow transplant that blessed her with temporary remission.
I remember my dad and I would sit and listen to one of their first albums, back when albums were pressed on vinyl. Our favorite song was "500 Miles." But of course, he taught me to sing "Puff, the Magic Dragon," when I was a young child.
Enjoy the videos.
Mary Travers.
"Leavin' on a Jet Plane" was written by John Denver, another wonderful folk singer. He's in the video, too.
Isn't it sad, how many wonderful performers we've lost recently?
What a wonderful concert must be going on in heaven!
