I remember them well from when I was a child - I like this rendition of my childhood favourite:

Mary may have left us but a legacy lives on.

I saw them live in Terre Haute, IN . I'm thinking '63 or '64, I think "Blowing in the Wind" was in their
repertoire then. And "Puff the Magic Dragon". They each did individual mini sets as part of the show.
Mary was a stunning beauty then as well as a tremendous singer.

This may or may not mean anything to anyone, but...

At church, we do a song called "Seek Ye First". It's #405 in the United Methodist Hymnal. Well, what's cool was when I realized that the chord progression to "Seek Ye First" is the same as "Puff the Magic Dragon". When I lead music, I will sometimes kick in with "Puff" in the middle, and of course, EVERYONE joins in singing (after they realize what just happened), because everyone knows that song.

Mary Travers will definitely be missed.

Noel lives in the next town were I used to live in Maine. A regular fixture in the music up there. I also provided sound reinforcement for P,P&M at the UofM . Peter made me pull all compressor limiters out of the system and put them in the truck. Thank God I was running Crest consoles & power with EAW KF850 boxes.

She will be missed indeed.

You're little "puff" in church had me cracking up, though. Priceless!

RIP, May!
