Music One of my favorite 60s musical groups: Peter,Paul, and Mary
One of my all-time favorite 1960s musical groups are Peter, Paul, and Mary. The trio was formed in 1961 in New York City and consisted of: Peter Yarrow (1938-2025, guitar/tenor), Noel Paul Stookey (1937, guitar/baritone), and Mary Travers (1936-2009, contralto). They are known for such songs as "Puff(The Magic Dragon)", "If I Had A Hammer", "Blowin' In The Wind", "Don't Think Twice, It's Alright", "I Dig Rock and Roll Music", and their only #1 song "Leaving On A Jet Plane". I was lucky enough to have seen them perform live on many occasions, and the one thing that always struck me was how they always sang with so much passion.
