Despite their political views and most of their lyrics, I liked a lot of their music. May she rest in peace.

Mary used to live on Gallows Hill Rd in Redding CT. In the 19970s, she used to drive her husband to the West Redding train station and love on him prior to boarding 605AM train to Grand Central Station. RIP

***Travers, like Paul Stookey and Peter Yarrow, saw folk music both as an art and as an instrument for change. They sang a number of sociopolitical songs, which Travers later defended. ***
I saw a program years ago about how the commies and socialists looked for a musical way to get their message out. They chose the American Folk song as the medium and groups like the WEAVERS and PP&M to do it.
People in the 1960’s jokingly referred to them as “two queers and a lesbian.”

Wow, she really looks poor in that picture. I had not realized that she was 72. I would have thought mid 60’s. Though I don’t agree with her political views, she was not in your face and an idiot like so many others. I think she had a good heart and was misguided like so many hippies. RIP...
