Sad Puff has lost another playmate...

Quote:
BOSTON – Mary Travers, one part of the folk trio Peter, Paul and Mary, which used beautiful, tranquil harmonies to convey the angst and turmoil of the Vietnam anti-war movement, racial discrimination and more, died after a yearslong battle with leukemia. She was 72.

The band's publicist, Heather Lylis, said Travers died Wednesday at Danbury Hospital in Connecticut.

Though their music sounded serene, Peter, Paul and Mary represented the frustration and upheaval of the 1960s, as a generation of liberal activists used their music not only to protest political policies, but also to spark social change. And even as the issues changed, and the fiery protests abated, the group remained immersed in musical activism.
Read the rest of the obituary here.

While before my time, I know they had a profound impact on music. And for those not following or remembering, one of their biggest hits was "Puff, the Magic Dragon".

May her friends and family find peace, and may all who face death do it with such dignity and grace.

One of the first records I remember learning was 'leaving on a jet plane' by PP&M

Lovely voice, member of the tin pan alley crowd and by all accounts a wonderful person. A sad loss indeed.

I remember them well, and Puff was a favorite along with Leaving on a Jet Plane.... very sad.

Reminds us all about our own mortality, I think, when some singer/actor/politician from our younger days passes away.

Don't tell me he STILL does that. At least this was an original thought - give him some credit!
