"Puff" was my first 45, IIRC. Always made me cry.
RIP Mary.

It always made me cry, too. And to add insult to injury, my Dad just laughed. Heckuva thing to do to an 8 year old kid.

Another sad day.

Loved their music and she certainly had a magnificent voice.
Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have others.

I guess it was more like five years ago that my wife and I saw PP&M. Here's a picture from the concert.

Though I liked PP&M very much and thought Mary Travers was the hottest chick in folk music, I'd like to add that PP&M (for those that don't know) were sort of The Monkees of the folk set.

They were a creation of Albert Grossman. A devised plan by the evil genius to cash in on the folk craze.

Grossman tried to enlist others in his creation (Bob Gibson among them) until he eventually wound up with Peter, Noel and Mary.

I had the songbook to this record...

... and I used that (along with "The Golden Beatles") to learn how to play guitar.
