Peter, Paul, and Mary

When I was a teenager, I bought a Peter, Paul, and Mary cassette called Best of 10 Years Together.  It was nice, but it wasn't outstanding.  In 1997 when I broke up with my boyfriend, I gave him the tape, because he got more enjoyment out of it than I did.  But over the years, as I heard other songs by Peter, Paul, and Mary, I knew that I liked them.  Now I buy not tapes but mp3's.  For a long time, I've had in mind to buy some Peter, Paul, and Mary songs.  I finally did it on Saturday.  Amazon had 756 items listed under Peter, Paul, and Mary.  I went through them all and picked out 26 to buy.  This is so much the kind of music I like.  Some songs that I especially like include:

River of Jordan
Coming of the Roads
The Magi
Take the Chance
Sometime Lovin'
Hurry Sundown
Of This World
It's Magic

The lyrics, the sound -- this is my music, right along with Magpie, Pete Seeger, Joe Crookston, and Bok, Muir and Trickett.
