As others have said, PPM provided the music of my childhood, pre-Beatles. My mother, younger brother and I used to sing songs, which we had learned from the albums my older brother played, on Sunday afternoon car rides. They provided the gateway to the songs of Bob Dylan and many others. Often derided as a little too prettified, they certainly were responsible for turning many people on to folk music
- or whatever one wishes to call it - that might not otherwise have paid any attention.
I moved on from them to a larger musical world but I can still listen to them with pleasure today.
