72!.......72?

Do make ya feel old, don't it? I learned to play the guitar, in high school, 1969, with Beatles songs, and Peter, Paul and Mary songs. GAK, that's 40 years ago!

IIRC, she was the only one of the trio who did not become a born again Evangelical Charimatic/Pentecostal Christian.

Lordy, I haven’t heard that song in YEARS! One of my favorite things about PP&M was their close harmony singing.

As I understand it, unconfessed, unrepented

bitterness is a very serous hazard to resting in peace.

I disagreed with their poltiics, but sure enjoyed their music, especially when in Viet Nam.

I recall in Can Rahn Bay, walking out to the freedom bird for my final trip home after my last tour, someone turned on AFVN radio and what should I hear playing but “Leavin’ On A Jet Plane.”

The song never meant as much to me as it did at that moment.

For those of us who are not on FR for many hours each day, so-called duplicate posts are not a problem. I had not seen this news, so I appreciate your postting it, murph, even if it has been posted already 10 times today.

I always forget - was it Peter or Paul who was caught in the motel room with the fourteen year old boy?......

"I guess this would not be the time to play the parody version my friend loved, “Where Have All the Donuts Gone?”

On the contrary, sir - by all means - play.
