Saturday night. I had a bit of nostalgia seeing and more importantly hearing these giants of my teenage years. I loved Peter, Paul , and Mary. . . then and now. They are folk singers and along with Mary Travers. Sadly Mary is gone, lost to cancer a few years ago, but the guys are still singing ever so clearly and sweetly accompanied only by acoustic guitars. Folk music is known a force for civil rights, social , cultural , and political force just as the marches and protests.
Interesting that today, after 50 years there are still wars and injustice in the world with marches and demonstrations. The popular music is different but there are still themes of anti-war, pro-justice for all, and anti-bullying !
The audience sang every word of every song and applauding enthusiastically. Remembering long ago and far away when we were young. . . . . . . . . . was all good!
Rich writing my friend! Sage has a play from October 6-16, if you wanna see what that writer has to say!

Use to love how before they went on stage they had to do the ‘hummies’. Beautiful Mary always made sure I was included in the group hug and hums next to her. Worked just Mary and Peter one time and Peter went on and on about how Puff had nothing to do with smoking a joint. Finally, Mary went on stage to join him i singing the song. She grabbed the mic and asked the audience, ‘Don’t you sometimes find Peter a little appalling’?
