End of an Era

Mary Travers has passed away. She was the Mary in Peter, Paul and Mary. She was sick for awhile and passed away this week at the age of 72. She will be missed. While it’s not clear if the group’s music directly influenced Jimmy, it does seem clear that they laid much of the groundwork for the future audience of musicians like Jimmy. His music, with it’s similarities to folk-rock, would have never had the kind of audience that it has without groups like Peter, Paul, and Mary to give people the feel for that kind of music. This weekend, give yourself a little while to hear a little bit of their music and remember the people who made it all possible.
