True, real people don't need fancy grave marks...the beauty is in the simplicity!. .and she will live on till the end of time! Thank you! Love from Chile!
Saw them many times in the Sixties=. Was introduced by my older brother, 1962 and listening to PP&M any depression or anxiety was instantly relieved. Now, 60 close years later, I still listen to them and again, depression, anxiety, gone. Peace to her family and thank you Peter, Paul and Mary.
I had the pleasure of seeing Mary perform live, solo, in 1976 at Hunter College, New York City. There's nothing more I can add to what's already been said about her greatness, except I still miss her as if I knew her, and at times I still can't believe she's no longer with us...
FYI. I’m Mary’s daughter and you are correct about the headstones. When my grandmother died my mother had a gentleman make three headstones in the same style. One for Virginia (her mom), one for herself and one for her current husband.
Wow, what a coincidence! I got to see them live at the same location in July 1996 when I was 12 years old myself! My first ever Peter, Paul and Mary concert. It was a real treat!
I made a harp for her and she was to have me to teach her but it was not to happen because she became more ill. I love her dearly and we all miss her very much.
@@variousvisfineart I was in a lobby of a hotel where she was staying and she was in the lobby and I asked her could I play her a tune. She was very nice and even tried to play a tune. She asked me to come to rehearsal and play it and I hang out with all of them a while. It pleased me so, and I surprised her later with a Celtic harp as a gift for being so kind.
@@variousvisfineart Thank you very much for subscribing. PP&M are my mentors and friends. Several covers on there and some original tunes by me and others. I have written 2 new ones..One is called 'The Wind and the other is called "Rain on the tin roof"
The harp. During a concert in Melbourne Australia, Paul had broken a string which he replaced. He was then having a lot of trouble getting back into tune with Peter. Mary came to the microphone & there were roars of laughter when she said "Next time I will bring my harp and have half an hour of my own tuning"
Her headstone is like she was - no frills. On the gruesome side, another consideration might’ve been that if it were something extravagant it might attract fan-ghouls to want to chip off a piece of the stone.
Lucille ball also has a simple grave in James Town, New york..all my life I thought celebrities had huge headstones,fancy resting places, alot look like those of every day people, not Elvis
