Oh, that one really hurts. Mary Travers' voice is what I hear when I think of my childhood - "500 Miles", "Puff", "If I Had a Hammer", "Leaving on a Jet Plane." Those beautiful harmonies. I'll join you guys in kissing our childhood goodbye corner.

Hurts. The very first album I ever had was bought for my birthday, Lemon Tree, I think I must have been 9yrs. My folks couldn't afford but that's all I wanted so all my birthday presents were rolled into that $6 album (still have it). Met Mary at the Encanto Bandshell later early '60s, she was so incredibly gracious to chat with us and signed an autograph - hey, they just had a break but she was so willing to chat. Later got autographs on other breaks with Peter & Paul, again so gracious. When I went to Crippled Childrens Hospital, that album with signatures taped to its back, Lemon Tree album traveled with, gave us hospital inmates a LOT of hope and comfort. RIP Mary, you gave so much to so many with your beautiful voice and beautiful person. And I think you gave such power to help stop the war in Vietnam. You gave us so much!

Wasn't Henry Gibson the guy who was the evil one on Will and Grace, always going after Megan Mulhally (sp) character.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgy7Sf9gGZE&feature=player_embedded#t=65 This is part 1 of a wonderful documentary on Peter Paul and Mary. You'll find Lemon Tree around the 4:20 minute point.

Wow, Mary Travers, RIP. I had every one of their albums at one time and got to see them in concert a few times.. memorably at Berkeley Community Theatre and down at the Pageant of the Masters outdoor amphitheatre in Laguna Beach, but other times as well. Sad to think she's gone. Can't even imagine how many times I played that first album..

Thanks Mames, you were right that was a fantastic documentary that I was up the rest of the night watching. They only showed 4 youtubes out of 8, so I'm going to search more tonight for the rest. Incredible history! The Lemon Tree album I had showed them standing in front of a brick wall, looked like the wall at the Bitter End which was the first nightclub they performed. In all I saw them 3 times at the Enchanto Bandshell where you sit in chairs on the grass in Phoenix. Then at the Paramount Theater here in Seattle in 1990. They were every bit as great as back in my younger days.

When I saw them in Laguna, Paul would pop up from behind barricades while the other performers were on (lol.. The New Christy Minstrels!) They be singing and Paul would suddenly pop up.. The first album was just called Peter Paul & Mary and indeed the picture was against that brick wall.

Bisc, I hope you find the other 4 youtubes of that documentary cuz I'd love to see 'em too. It was too good to only see just half of it. I tried but had no luck finding the rest of it. Sea, as soon as I saw that album you posted, I recognised it, it's probably their most famous one. BUT since Bisc mentioned Lemon Tree in her post, I thought it was the name on the album.

Yes Seamonkey! THAT was the album, I always just called it Lemon Tree because it was the song that I wanted. Then it turned out most of the other songs became favorites, as well. Maybe the one who posted the first four youtubes, will now feel like sharing the last 4 with us, given the sad news. I will keep checking. Here's the Peter Paul & Mary website, with words from Peter & Paul: http://www.peterpaulandmary.com/

Mame, I watched all of the Youtubes - terrific documentary. I had my own Irish wake for Mary. Boy she was a great singer.

Gal, I love the idea that you held a 'wake' for her. Bisc, I do hope someone finds and posts the last half of that documentary. Thank you for the link to their site. Paul's last few words brought me to tears. i am deadened and heartsick beyond words to consider a life without mary travers and honored beyond my wildest dreams to have shared her spirit and her career." - Noel Paul Stookey
