We have been blessed with great female singers over the years. Patsy Cline, Whitney Houston, Judy Collins to name some of the best. None could sing a ballad as well as Mary Travers
Music takes us back in time especially to the place we were when we heard the song, for me, Peter Paul & Mary were componants of my childhood, so just to listen to them takes me back to those carefree days again, of long summer holidays and endless sunny days. Oh to go back in time for real !!
I was infatuated with Mary when I was young. Their music made quite an impression on me and I carry that to this day. I was really said when Mary passed away. I miss you Mary too. RIP.
Wow -- Mary Travers is the freak'in "mom" mtRNA|DNA to Gisel Bündchen, among the recent decade's mega-top-dollar-paid fashions models ever...whereas, many contemporaneous critics et al narrow thinkers, discounted Mary's "strong looks" as, at best, a cruder version of the "Julie Christie school of peroxide-locks"; whereas, in retrospect--at least for newer generations--review of the ubber-graphical stagings, w/high-key lighting, proves my salient point. Not my type, but lookers all the same!
John Denver does a great job with this song he wrote but Peter, Paul and Mary own it. This is probably many Viet Nam vets signature song for Viet Nam because when Mary hits the part about "not knowing when I will be back again" it strikes a chord at least for me and the fact many of us did never come back again.
My (former) wife and I saw Mary at The Troubadour in West Hollywood back in the Spring of 1973. It was a memorable night, she was a memorable lady. Anyone who believes that issues of peace & civil rights are noble causes lost a dear friend when Mary died in 2009. Without her it's easy to feel a loss of social conscientiousness in this world that cannot be easily replaced.
@MrRonnieG Mr Ronnie, I say Amen to you...they were so important to the movement...She was a real Draw, the sexy beautiful Mary...God I miss her...a voice so soft , yetso powerful at the same time.They were so good together... what else can yo say...they really helped legitimixe folk music...
@LoverOfMusic120 I went to war to this song playing in the morning I left, kissing the sleeping love of my life. Oddly, this is the song I returned with as well. John Denver, In my opinion, can't hold a candle to Mary Travers doing this rendition, (albeit I left in 69 to the full PPM song). When I returned, I had changed, and the love of my life and I parted ways, but not a day goes by when I don't think of her and hope her life was spectacular...even without me. I still love her.
@rasputin1952 /John Denver did a great job but Peter, Paul and Mary owned this one. I left for Viet Nam on December 9,1969 and served as a 11b10 infantryman with the 101st Airborne division and I believe this is the signature song for me on that period. I remember the sinking feeling when my Flying Tiger Airline jet left Travis airforce base in California for Ben Hoa. It was probably one of the saddest and fearful times of my life. Welcome home friend.
I remember this song playing on AM transistor radio. I am so thankful to have lived to hear this song as part as my childhood, though I didn't realize the true impact what was really being said (war). I grew up with the greatest music ever.
how could it get any better than this mary is so beautiful and her music brings back so many memories when i grew up.i can not exspress how much her music meant to me.i really miss her.
Mary was someone I never knew or ever met, but I grew up with her songs in the 60's and her passing leaves a hole in my heart that even now still wont go away! Such a beautiful beautiful voice, in such a beautiful person, such a loss to humanity.

I left for Nam to this song, I could not wake the love of my life, to kiss her goodbye; I did know it I would ever come back. I touched her cheek, she smiled. In one of those things that make you wonder about life, this song played on my way back home, She waited for me, but I had changed; my love for her is eternal...but what if I awoke one night and hurt her because of something i could not yet control...I would never be able to forgive myself. I hope she has had a wonderful life.
@1905compton Thank you. We all travel down paths, some good, some poor. In the end though, I think that it all comes together, we are walking history, each with a stories of times long gone; loves lost, ill fated choices...but there is always the hope that just around the next bend, it will all make sense. There are the good times to be recalled as well, the laughter, the ties that can never be broken. It is good to watch the sunrise and set...and think of time gone by, and await the next joy.
The Kingston Trio and Friends Reunion Concert was done in Magic Mountain, saturday evening, November 7, 1981, but it was finally aired over the PBS-TV Network from february 21 to March 6; 1982.

I loved Mary so much. This performance of Jet Plane really sums up Mary's magic...straight ahead, unfussy singing, yet infused with drama and passion.
dreamlike. (:
