Don't laugh at me
This is so beautiful, I have always loved Peter Paul and Mary. It really hits home for me...
I am seemingly a collection of differences; a mountain man living on the plains, a small town boy living in the city, and a simple soul working in a high-tech environment. I love being outside, but work inside, quick to cry at a Kodak commercial, but with a military background. But most of all, I am the father of a wonderful boy with Cerebral Palsy.
I don't know if you've ever heard this, but "Puff, the Magic Dragon" may have been a clever double entendre referencing drugs.
ReplyDeletePeter Yarrow performed at the opening convocation in my old school district one year, and performed that song.
ReplyDeleteIt was weird-- there was a big split with people; all of us 40 and over were thrilled that he was there, and sang every word of every old Peter, Paul and Mary song he played. And the under-40's had no idea who he was. The funny thing was that the over-40's were incredibly diverse politically. There was something about those guys that brought people together, and still does.
