Mary Travers of Peter, Paul and Mary passed away today due to the side effects of her chemotherapy treatments. She was 72.
Peter, Paul and Mary were one of my most favorite folk bands to date. They made songs like “Puff the Magic Dragon,” “If I Had a Hammer” and “Where Have All the Flowers Gone?”. She will surely be missed.

You will be missed sir Swayze, and to honor your passing, I’ve decided to share one of my all time favorite videos of you and Chris Farley (RIP also Chris) highlighting the good times.
Dirty dancing and tequila party at my place.
