Mary Travers of Peter, Paul & Mary Remembered (Please Rate & Leave A Response)

As a child, the first record my parents bought for me was Puff The Magic Dragon in 1964. I listened to it over and over and then had friends come over and listened to it more. I was always sad because I understood that the Dragon died, but I did not fully understand what the Dragon represented. I understand a lot more these days, but now Mary has passed on and I find myself sad once again. Good Bye Mary, yours is a beautiful spirit and you will be missed here.

It's almost three years since Mary Left us and many times I wished I could've gone and see Peter Paul & Mary live whenever they were in Toronto but it just never happen. Miss Travers was the heart & Soul of the group whose voice of many a good song will live in us forever.

I had the immense pleasure of running into Mary a few times in the late 50's/early 60/s. Once, when they were appearing at San Francisco's "Purple Onion", I actually had a cup of coffee with her, just the two of us! It wasn't anything like a date, but for the past half-century I've been telling everyonbe it was. I adore (note present tense) her.

This was the song the drew my attention to PP&M in the 60's. We have been fans ever since and have seen the live many times when they drifted through Montreal. One of their last tours was very short but they managed to fit us in given the past warm receptions.

Peter Yarrow's Puff has always been special. Many have tried to read more into it but as Peter himself emphasized it has always been transparent. The growth out of childhood and loss of innocence.

I cry when i listen to Mary......with sadness that she is gone. I loved her music, and saw her many times.

Beautiful and quite heart warming . Shows the essence of their music and the joy it brought and will continue to bring even though she is gone . I personally loved their music and the meanings behind their songs . She will be missed but lived a full life and left quite a legacy .
