Peter Paul and Mary

I thought that the older audience might enjoy this, but their musical talent lives on.

Here's one of my favorites,

[The Pecman]

Huge fan here -- I grew up with them when I was a kid, and my mom was a big Folk music fan. Aside from liking all their hits, I also liked some of their lesser tracks:

We sang all this stuff at summer camp (pre-Beatles): "Michael Row the Boat Ashore," "Green, Green," all those songs. Folk is kind of forgotten now, totally eclipsed by Beatlemania in 1964, but I have fond memories of it. And I didn't mind the transition to Folk-Rock (Dylan, the Byrds, Simon & Garfunkel, etc.), unlike the purists.

Over here we had electric folk from such as Steeleye Span and Fairport Convention. Wonderful.
