Peter Paul and Mary - We Wish You A Merry Christmas

[kvetro60]

Wow RoseWood1488....if you forget...Jesus was a Jew! God bless our Jewish friends. I have loved the music of these three great artists although our politics could not be more different. Jeeze, where is your Christmas spirit?????

[RoseWood1488]

Nothing says "sincerity" than three jews celebrating Christmas.

@RoseWood1488 You are a typical hag who should be deeply ashamed of your bigotry, ignorance and hatred that clings to the wrinkled skin of your soul. A hatemonger who keeps warm by breeding intolerance and animosity by your tongue. Careful dear, God is listening to your stupidity and foolishness. Pillar of salt anyone? Peace. bear

Actually, RoseWood1488, Noel Paul Stookey is a Christian. He's been outspoken about it at times. He has written Christian-themed music. Is there therefore something wrong with him singing Peter Yarrow's great Hanukkah song "Light One Candle?" Yarrow is Jewish, but once co-produced an album for an explicitly Christian-influenced folk group called Lazarus. Christians singing Hanukkah songs, Jews singing Christmas songs, so what? Respecting and embracing others is OK. It's downright folky.

A beautiful ballad sung by three excellent troubadours of love, peace & decency. Mary Travers is no longer with us, a fact that makes this craggy-faced Texan misty-eyed. That Kentucky girl could sing up a storm. Peter (Pete) Yarrow & Noel (Paul) Stuckey are, at this writing, still with us. Beautiful harmony, heartwarming tempo and joyful voices make Peter, Paul & Mary a constant anchor for me in remembering what the holiday is all about. Peace, my brothers & sisters. Bear

Rest In Peace Mary.

I remember seeing them in concert on their last tour. Mary was already sick at the time, and I understand she passed away not too long after. I cry often when I hear this on the radio.

Thanks for posting this. One of my fave versions of this song, which is hardly played on the radio anymore, sadly (this version, that is). =/

There is a little bit of tension in this otherwise pleasant encore to such a wonderful concert. It all starts around 1:25 It looks like Peter doesn't want to look out...
