Keeping fresh with demand for your old tunes has got to be tough!.. I can't comprehend how some performers can do the same performance for years & years & keep their spirits up.. Obviously it has to be that they are flattered for being a success, but they don't want to strangle their creative juices either! In my humble opinion, Peter, Paul, and Mary do that balance very well..They appear to really enjoy the OLD, but always manage to surprise me with the great NEW. A sad commentary of the opposite was Ricky Nelson..I saw him not long before his death & his style was so changed & harsh I couldn't listen to it.. I'm sure he had his fans of the NEW, but rejecting all the OLD lost the magic (for me).. "Garden Party" pretty prophetic? Gary
