[78-L] Bad news day

[Robert Shirer]

I just posted a facebook status with an RIP Mary Travers.  The first two lps 
my brother brought home of a folkie nature were the first PP&M disc and 
Gibson and Camp at the Gate of Horn.  The latter was more influential on my 
own musical development, but the folk scare of the sixties would have been 
unthinkable without PP&M.  May she go well.  A fine person and a great 
performer.
Cheers,
Bob Shirer
