Mary Travers




My heart is sad today, Mary Travers died. For those of you who didn't know her by name she was Mary of Peter, Paul & Mary. I have loved them almost all of my life, I started listening to their music when I was about 13 or so, was a wanna be hippie and could groove with them all day. The winter before last my dream came true I finally got to see them live up at Stanley Theater in Utica, NY. It didn't matter they were old they could still belt out the music, I couldn't wipe the smile off my face I was so darn proud. I have always told my kids some day when it's my time to leave this earth I want Peter, Paul & Mary to sing for me at my funeral, well that's if we all held on that long. I guess a cd will have to do. The strangest thing is their last concert in May was in New Brunswick,New Jersey where I was born maybe that was her way of saying Good-bye, ya never know. God bless your soul Mary and may you sing in heaven for the angels tonight and every night.
