this woman rocked my four year-old world. i used to practice her head shake in the mirror.
she is the reason i sing too loudly when i sing in groups.
watch her in this clip. observe the head shake.
it’s righteous.
as a tribute, i might finally cut bangs into my uncooperative hair.
here’s to you, mary. you rocked.

I randomly had this song stuck in my head the other day! I love Peter Paul and Mary.
Very cool… I love how you can be so into music even when you're that wee… Apparently I liked singing Adam Ant's "Prince Charming" when I was little!!
i'm sorry she passed away. i love the song and the bangs.
P, P & M are irresistible.
So completely cool š My four year old loves their songs, especially Puff.
Mary did rock, lovely tribute.
She will be missed. I alwasy loved that we shared a name and that I had a beloved friend growing up named Peter (:
Thanks for this lovely post.

I love them too and ESPECIALLY love the Peter, Paul and Mommy album. Sing me your song, ooooooh…… Yay. Thanks for putting a nice song in my head today.
That head shake is righteous! man, you were one hip four year old!
Daddy and I had a PPM dinner party last night. Not a dry eye when she sang "500 Miles" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbg2wkVDWTs
The head shake is righteous, for sure, but it is her fist up that is iconic–for earnestness and passion, it breaks your heart every time. You singing You are My Sunshine "with" her into the window fan in our dining room–that's my memory.
