they had a lovely sound that was easy on the ear, beautiful voice, wonder who out of them and the seekers were influenced by the other?

I think PPM preceded Judy and the lads by a couple of yrs... folk/pop - good days trad jazz, instrumental groups, 'nall... Quite a wide selection.
All things must pass... - As a 'fab' one sang...

A lovely woman who will be sadly missed by those of a certain generation.

Sadly youngsters of today couldn't appreciate the influence PPM have had on music.

I don't mind admitting this song makes me cry!!

I have always interpreted the story as being about growing up and leaving childhood behind.

Maybe that says a lot about my childhood to any therapist reading...

My father left when I was 2.

I'd like to add my condolences to the list for Mary Travers. An essential part of the trio and played a leading role in raising awareness of several social wrongs, to the attention of the American people.
