RIP
so sad

I distinctly remember seeing this trio live on TV one time when I was younger.

I think that must have been during my Julie Andrews kick. I think there was some concert both were in.

You will be missed.

"I've got a hammer, and I've got a bell, and I've got a song to sing all over this land..."

I grew up with PPM's music in the house, so this is really a sad day for me... so many great songs, so many memories.

I'm leavin' on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again

 

[PKTrekGirl]

Wow...just terrible.

I remember their music from when I was a child.

RIP.

Puff the Magic Dragon was an important song when I was a little kid. When I finally got the message of the song, it was a formative moment, it was so sad.

Aw - so sad! I love PP&M - I saw them in concert some time after they reunited...early 1980s, I think it was. It was a magical night.

"Leaving on a Jet Plane" is one of my all-time favorite songs. "Already I'm so lonesome I could cry..."

 

[Nerys Myk]

My parents had one of their records and my siblings and I played it constantly when we were kids.
