Puff the magic dragon's Mom is dead.
 Died yesterday from leukemia at 72.Seems we're losing more and more of our childhoods, for those of us who are of roughly the same age range as Phillip. Michael Jackson. Patrick Swayze. Peter Paul and Mary's Mary now. Bad year to be 40-something, don't you think? |

A real shame. I remember seeing them live in the 1990's; it's hard to believe such magic is gone from the world, with her passing.

Peter, Paul and Mary were always special favorites of mine. Their music was lighthearted but with a serious undertone. Unlike popular groups that followed them, their shows were always "child safe", with no vulgarity...and yet hugely entertaining for adults as well. They were sort of the ultimate "summer camp sing along" experience.
Noel "Paul" Stookey was the heart and brains of the team, but Mary Travers' unique and powerful voice gave the trio their signature sound. The water is wide I cannot get o'er Neither have I The wings to fly Give me a boat That can carry two And both shall row, My love and I. God bless, Mary. _____________________

I started a post with NO posters adding.
Only 4 of us in the whole sl forum? To remember an icon of our musical world? I may not have gone the way of folk and the protest songs of the sixties in what I do, but this woman was a groundbreaker who I must honour. Her songs touched millions and moved millions and made a mark on our time. _____________________

PPandM were the first artists my ears ever heard along with Herb Albert and the Tijuana Brass. The only two albums my dad played back in the 60s.

Puff the magic dragon's Mom is dead. Died yesterday from leukemia at 72.Seems we're losing more and more of our childhoods... I was thinking of the same thing. "Blowing in the Wind" was one of my favorites.Henry Gibson, who played the meek little poet on "Laugh-In" died yesterday from cancer as well. He was 73. _____________________

Now let me guess, it was the girl covered in whipped cream on the cover of the Herb Albert album that piqued your curiosity in music, right? _____________________

My mother loved Herb Alpert, and, also, Tom Jones. I saw Tom Jones recently, he's playing a local casino.  He's umm aged a tad. |

Bad year to be 40-something, don't you think? perhaps my own opinion, but, for this week alone, Henry Gibson and Jim Carroll really do have a place on that list. _____________________

Puff the Magic Dragon was a lullaby my mother sang to me as a child; she played it on her guitar while doing so.
/me breathes a little puff of magic smoke, droops his wings, and lowers his head. |

cult poet of the 70's who wrote "The Basketball Diaries" as well as a singer songwriter... but i'm NOT gonna laugh that someone who chose RockAndRoll for a first name didn't know of him... _____________________
