Like no other, PP&M is the music of my life. I first heard them at a Unitarian Church summer camp. One of the camper's father was a DJ in Chicago, and he brought along several pre-release records, including PP&M. It was played on the first night during dinner. I do not think we ever listened to the other LPs because we played PP&M at every gathering. I saw them in concert 4 times, the last on the beach in Naples, Florida. My preschool daughter had a doll named Mary, who she carried everywhere. When we arrived at the beach, the trio came on stage for a sound check. My little girl shrieked “MARY”, ran up on stage, and presented her doll to its namesake. Mary kissed it and handed it back. My wife and I had no idea that Mary Travers was THE Mary. Now her daughter loves to hear me play “Puff.” There has been no one like them. Now kids have Taylor Swift. Not bad, but not the same.

Their harmonies were untouchable. I loved "Puff the Magic Dragon"... To me it was a song that described the transition from being a playful child, to an adult and it's complexities. It had nothing to do with drugs.

Age 53 I have seen some pretty big names in rock and roll and country music including Garth Brooks, Willie Nelson, Billy Joel and Eric Clapton. To this day, my most lasting concert memory is the night at Trinity University in San Antonio, TX when PP&M stopped playing, bowed their heads and let the audience sing "Where Have All The Flowers Gone?" to them.

Personal and professional differences are common to most bands, as is the growing apart of band members and the desire to move on to other projects at some point. It's best to enjoy the good times while they're happening and cherish the memories of them later.

Is no one going to mention Peter's arrest for statutory rape? He was caught with a 14-year-old girl in his hotel room. Many other girls testified in his trial at the time. My recollection was that his sentence included being forbidden to perform in public, which forced the group to stop doing shows. Mary died many years *after* they'd broken up. I realize they did occasional reunion concerts, I've always assumed there was a time limit on Peter's sentence. But the breakup happened long before Mary passed, and at the time, the general opinion was that it was because of Peter's arrest.

Tomhubbard1900. -- Sorry Tom. Some of your 'facts' are not quite correct. Peter was never arrested or convicted of rape. As reported in the video, he was arrested for taking indecent liberties, but never for rape. He only served three months. He would have served longer with a rape conviction. The group got back together in the late 70s or early 80s and performed some of their best songs as well as releasing several albums/CDs. They remained performing thru Mary's illness until she sadly passed away in 2009. She insisted on continuing to perform as long as she could. She would appear onstage with her cane and would sit on a stool. Her death was indeed the end of the group.

Saw them once, in 1964.Breathtaking tunes, vocals, everything. At the time their activism wasn't front and center, so the whole experience was musical rather than political. Later on they were more closely aligned with some pretty sketchy ideologies, and I recall Yarrow being quoted as not understanding why people would picket their appearances carrying signs that read "If I had a sickle".
