Geeez there seems to be a lot of people falling of the perch this year.

Those who might be saying...who???...you must know Puff the Magic Dragon or Leaving on a Jet Plane and the sang Blowing in the Wind better than Dylan ever could imho.

Mary Travers - a member of the hugely popular 1960s US folk group Peter, Paul and Mary - has died aged 72.

The band's publicist said Mary - who had battled leukaemia for years - died at Danbury Hospital in Connecticut.

Peter, Paul and Mary had hits including If I Had a Hammer, Lemon Tree and Puff, The Magic Dragon.

They won five Grammies and released a five-disc box set of their greatest hits, Carry It On. They were also known for their political activism.

They were strong supporters of the civil rights movement and opponents of the Vietnam War.


RIP Mary

Grew up listening to PP&M In Concert. Their Puff still gives me goosebumps.
