'Greatest Hits Of Peter, Paul and Mary' Show Free Times Cafe Debut

What a great night! We learned the show was sold out almost two weeks in advance. Even so, a few last minute cancellations allowed some walk-ins to be accommodated. The audience was wonderful...a nice mix of 'Where Have All The Folk Songs Gone?' regulars and new singalongers.

We were all very excited but a little nervous heading into the evening as this is still a new show and the first time performing it with Tony on bass. But our nervousness evaporated once we hit the stage and we all had a great time.

In this show we include songs from throughout Peter, Paul and Mary's 50 years together. A particularly moving moment of the evening was singing the poignant anti-bullying 'Don't Laugh At Me', a song that inspired Peter Yarrow to create a program in U.S. schools called Operation Respect.

We all love singing 'I Dig Rock N' Roll Music'...you can't help but have fun with that one. And 'Day Is Done' seemed to get an extra-enthusiastic response from the audience.

While preparing for the show and marvelling at the complex arrangements that define their unique sound, I (Sue) wondered out loud how Peter, Paul and Mary might tackle a certain song I wrote. The guys were kind enough to indulge me and we presented 'One Song' employing some of their techniques. That was a such a high for me!

Here we are, tired but happy folksingers at the end of the evening...
