R.I.P. Mary Travers

Mary Travers of Peter, Paul & Mary fame has left on that great big Jet Plane to the afterlife. A kiss and a smile from me, Mary.

Re: R.I.P. Mary Travers

I liked Peter, Paul, and Mary.  I have their 10 Years Together album.  I've always particularly loved Lemon Tree, and Puff the Magic Dragon always makes me cry.

I had all of PP&M's records as a teen and wore them out.  I always sang along and knew Mary's part on all the songs.  I've replaced most of them with CD's and want to get some of the newer ones.  My favorite solo track of Mary's would have to be There is a Ship from
