As a radio announcer for many years, I played the wax off of every Peter, Paul and Mary record. Funny, I never met them in person. All I know about her death is, I still hurt!
, Amazing the power of Mary Travers to leave an empty spot in my heart…. guess growing up and old with her songs and words and presence in the world had an impact I miss…..but am so glad she was in my world for 50 years
