Used to sing this to our boys before their bedtime. Last week, our older son, now 41, Facetimed us and asked me to pull out my guitar and do it for their little girl. After I did it and we signed off, I lost it. The best ever Facetime session a grandfather could have!

[@Author.Noelle.Alexandria]

I still can’t watch this without crying. When I was a kid, when I went to my grandparents’ house, I always listened to this song several times while wearing my grandpa’s big headphones and curled in his big beige corduroy recliner that was next to the record player. But then growing up had to happen. Innocent days when I thought the ringing in my hears was how everyone knew it was time for bed and I still believed that popcorn cured all the world’s ills had to go away. I wish I could go back to those days sometimes, and that my own daughter could have experienced those happy things on that big beige recliner in a big house out in the country.

[@sh-ig9fm]

When I was a kid I always thought the ringing in my ears was the sound of my inner ears when everything was quiet like some kind of ambient minimum volume to keep your ears active.

[@jaybee5659]

Why is it that whenever I hear Peter, Paul and Mary perform this song, I smile as my eyes begin to water? And to watch the adults and children in the audience sing along as they smile. This is a form of entertainment that is sadly missing today. This helps me remember the good childhood I had. Thank you mom and dad. Rest in peace.

So many people criticised the youth of the 60s. Our music, our dress and mannerisms. We all grew up in the 40s and 50s getting ready to meet and survive a force from across the sea. Our music had purpose to make those times bearable and not so scary. All of the great entertainers of the day helped in that cause. PPM made us smile, cry and reflect on what was good in life. I am 73 now and if it were possible to slip into a rift in space and be thrown out in another time, the 60s would be my destination. Thank you.

Anyway long story short, after the death of my youngest Uncle the other 2 were moved out of the area of conflict and put in separate areas.
