So sorry to hear about this. Peter, Paul & Mary are easily one of the most important music groups in my life. I knew Mary had been ill, but was hoping she would regain enough strength to keep going for a while longer. She will be missed. Her beautiful voice was an important part of the group, as well as her fun-loving attitude. Their songs are legendary. Their history is vital to the history of American folk music. My prayers are with her family and friends and fans. Godspeed, Mary.

Yes, and I recall PP&M performing that song in at least one of their televised concerts. Can't find it immediately on Youtube, though.

I've made a post to my blog about Peter, Paul & Mary that includes lyrics to 2 of their songs and the time I almost made it to their concert. . .
