Mary Travers, 1936 - 2009 RIP
Another of my favorite artists has passed. Some of the songs she and Peter Yarrow and Noel Stookey, (AKA Peter, Paul, and Mary) sang, moved a generation. Songs like "If I Had a Hammer", "Blowin' in the Wind", and "Where Have All the Flowers Gone" open the eyes of people and set the direction for a generation of people towards an ideal that we still have not quite yet reached.
Maybe someday...
I give you a verse from a Bob Dylan song the the group made famous, words perhaps we should all pay heed to...
How many times must a man look up,
before he sees the sky?
And how many ears must one man have,
before he can hear people cry ?
And how many deaths will it take till we know,
that too many people have died?
The answer my friend is blowing in the wind,
the answer is blowing in the wind.
