Am I out of touch – I had no idea Mary had passed on. I was on holiday at the time and did not see the news, so am so thankful to SSR for posting re the memorial celebration and bringing it to my attention.

I suppose I should have been prepared for this considering her recent health problems, but it still doesn't lessen the shock of losing someone I have held in high esteem for nearly 50 years.

As I have said on another thread, back in the early 60's I was finding 'pap' music more and more tedious, but thankfully PP&M were there to fill the growing vacuum, and fuel my interest in folk music.

Thank you Mary, for all the joy you have brought us through the years. I hope you have found peace.
