After living 74 years and going serving my country from 66-69, I have seen a lot of things happen in this country. I managed to get through college on my own, with the help of Uncle Sam and a good wife who worked all her life. I even managed to get a Masters Degree and work over 40 years helping other people. During my life, I have always tried to do my part to make the world a better place but I realize now that will never happen. This is Veteran's Day 2021 and I have received a lot of texts saying "thanks for your service". While I do appreciate the thanks that many show us veterans, my prayer is that no more will have to serve and althought I am proud to have served, I wish that I had not had to. When I see leaders who evaded their sacred duty to serve , I know they really have no clue what it means to owe duty and gratitude to one's nation. It really enforces my belief that when the end comes, America will have long ended. I have never been able to find the word America in tbe Bible yet, but I am still looking. Just as it was during the days of this song, the answer is still blowing in the wind.

Mary was such a fox back then! She was enchanting to look at & listen to. She provided the feminine counterpoint to harmonies with Peter & Paul that offered a sentimental longing for better days, expressed in her voice and her facial expressions. Together, Peter, Paul & Mary carved a niche as the epitome of Folk Singers, a spin-off of the Blues tradition of emotionally expressing the pains of injustice, separation from loved ones, & hard-luck. There will always be a strain of Americans who feel this deeply, and see the beauty of humanity in Mary's face.

Mr54nomore But here we are. Americans don't seem to learn from their mistakes and despair is what has to be slammed down. Too bad it couldn't just be 'tamped'down

[@wendyryder2708]

Mr54nomore I agree! I grew up with Peter,Paul& Mary and The Seekers! Two of the best folk music groups ever!!!

[@qwipperty]

60s definitely the best for folk, 70s best for rock, 80s best for metal/glam rock....and who knows what the last 30 years was supposed to be.

[@MegaMatt5]

I just want to give a shout out to the bassist on this recording, Richard Kniss, who you can see off to stage left, obscured in shadow, at the end of the video. This is absolutely the definition of great bass playing for this style of music: The bass part never draws attention away from the vocals, but if you start listing for the bass part, you will realize that he is adding a lot to the song, and I guarantee if you took that part away, the performance wouldn't have the emotional impact it does. Mr. Kniss played with PPM for decades, knowing that most of their fans would never know his name. RIP Richard.

[@stevenschaefer7944]

I was looking for a comment about the bass player. My thoughts exactly. Their later recordings of these songs without the upright bass just weren't the same.

[@charlesfromm420]

What a kind and thoughtful tribute.

[@phil9308]

I noticed him. I was thinking the group should be called Peter, Paul, Mary, and the Bassist 😊

[@petergarlick8251]

I agree what a kind and thoughtful gesture .. bless you …

I'm crying remembering my childhood and this song. I heard it the first time in 1973. I was 12

I was 12 in ‘73 also!

[@bhumphries1360]

I listen to this song at least once a day. And everytime I listen to Mary's voice alone, it gives me goosebumps. Her voice is so beautiful! Many times I tear up even just hearing her sing. There are just some artists that have that ability to touch you right where it counts most....in your heart. Thank you Mary for givng us such a beautiful gift! Together their voices told us so many stories! Peter, Paul, and Mary are three names that will forever be remembered fondly!

[@gkprivate433]

jesus she was stunning. I remember in elemetary school, 5th or 6th grade one of my class mates played this on her guitar. Really was one of the first live plays of anything I had ever heard and the song was eye opening

[@arnoldblashak171]

Mary was so beautiful

[@farcenter]

Breathtaking

[@alfredosanchez007]

I REMEMBERED SINGING THESE FOLKLORE SONGS IN SCHOOL BACK EARLY 60'S WILL NEVER FORGET THOSE INNOCENT YEARS!!! 😎👍

[@Victor_Chords]

The first time I'm hearing this song it's already giving me chills! This is truly a legendary song, it's gets sweeter year after!

[@67bg70]

Mary was at her most luminous when they performed this song during the March on Washington, on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, a place I have never been able to visit without crying, for which I do not apologize at all. PP&M projected the better angels of our nature so forcefully, and beautifully, and well that they live in me always, every day. Mary is gone now, but her legacy will never die. Thanks to her, and to Peter and Paul, for one of the greatest musical contributions of the decade that mattered the most to me, the one in which I spent all of my teen years.

[@MyungHunter61]

[@Shaolin9424]

I heard that song while seeing a docu-drama about the civil rights movement on TV. I'm not certain but it seems to have had PP&M singing that while in a jail cell after being arrested for demonstrating. The words, the quality of singing, and most importantly, PP&M's ability to put deep feeling into the song made that one of the most memorable few moments of my life. I had to find out who sung that and buy a record of it. To me that is the number one song of all time.

My husband had the pleasure of meeting Mary a year or so before her passing, the two of them stuck in a stalled elevator in a Manhattan office building. She was luminescent, a truly beautiful person, he said. She may be gone from this earth, but her spirit lives on.

My nan passed away last year aged 82. 1937 my beautiful nan was born. That made her a teenager in the fiftys. I'm jealous she got to live in them eras of the 50s and 60s and 70s. X my grandad was born 1935 and still going strong at 84 x

such a pleasant singing, and unspectacular, unselfish performance. just serving the to songs content. looks so easy, so humble, and is such a great art!!

[@richardthiele1377]

Classic song...incomparable sound! Rest in peace Mary.

[@gjm1953]

I had the good fortune to see Peter, Paul and Mary in concert about 10-15 years ago. They were as mesmerizing and wonderful as in this clip. Rest in peace, Mary. I'm afraid we will never see your like again.

[@danapadgett5449]

Being born in 1951 I was so blessed to be in that generation that saw so much change in music, life and history. There are just sometimes when you know the voices blend and Peter, Paul and Mary ranked up there with Simon and Garfunkel for that kind of "Sound". Folk music gave way to rock and roll and the world moved on but....Please remember that a lot of singers and song writers in those days made their statement to the world. If you know the lyrics.....aren't the questions that they asked still with us today my friends. And I guess we are still asking those same questions. I guess the answer is still....."Blowing in the Wind"

[@singhvatankumar]

Sir, i am from india and a millennial, i just started listening to songs from the 60's where i discovered some great artists like "The lennon sisters, Paul Anka, Bee Gees, Neil sedaka etc.". Can you please help me out discover more and suggest a few more songs like these

As a child in the 60's, this was one of my favorite songs. But more for the melody than for the lyrics. I hadn't heard this song in years. But now, listening to the lyrics, and applying them to the modern day....O.M.G. !!!!!!!

[@sasikumarv.k5136]

A very meaningful song asking relevant questions which cannot be answered. When we hear this great song, we feel like we are seeking the answers to these unanswerable questions. No wonder that Bob Dylan received the Nobel Prize for Literature recently.

My neighbor played folk music in the 70s .She would sit out front practicing her guitar.We would sit around watching her play.She had such a lovely voice.She mastered mrs Robinson to a tee.We loved that song even though we didn’t understand what it was about.

I was so in love with Mary as a young boy in those days ... and ya know ... I know she is gone now ... but that love .. crush .. dream .. whatever you might want to call it ... is still in me as strong as ever. I think that love did me right .. it drove me to put women on a pedestal and be respectful of them as special, soulful and super sensitive beings. I am now 69 and still watching and dreaming in 2018.

Was a very special time back then. Very special. The music played a part. It pulled a nation through some tough times. It taught us, it gave to us, it healed some of us. I am honored to still listen to it.

My departed my brother, saw PPM at least 9 times live in concert. We'd take family walks and sing, PPM---songs. On a trip to the northern shore of Kauai, where Puff lived, Puff the magician dragon came on the radio. I used to sing it to them to help them fall asleep, which my twins adored. I twisted to see if they were listening, they were both sound asleep. Well done, Daddy...
