  • Blowin' or Blowing in the Wind info:
    "Blowin' in the Wind" is a song written by Bob Dylan in 1962 and released on his album The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan in 1963. Although it has been described as a protest song, it poses a series of rhetorical questions about peace, war and freedom. The refrain "The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind" has been described[by whom?] as "impenetrably ambiguous: either the answer is so obvious it is right in your face, or the answer is as intangible as the wind".
    In 1999, the song was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. In 2004, it was ranked #14 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the "500 Greatest Songs of All Time".
    -----------------------------------
    Peter, Paul and Mary:
    Peter, Paul and Mary were an American folk-singing trio whose nearly 50-year career began with their rise to become a paradigm for 1960s folk music. The trio was composed of Peter Yarrow, Paul Stookey and Mary Travers. After the death of Mary Travers in 2009, Yarrow and Stookey continued to perform as a duo under their individual names.
    Mary Travers has said she was influenced by Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, and the Weavers. In the documentary Peter, Paul & Mary: Carry It On - A Musical Legacy members of the Weavers discuss how Peter, Paul and Mary took over the torch of the social commentary of folk music in the 1960s.

      ...this masterpiece is what we call 'An Ageless Time Piece'...my kindergarten teacher was a BIG fan of PP&M and played their songs for us at recess, and my favorite was 'Puff The Magic Dragon'. I remember one time Walter Cronkite reported about a helicopter in Vietnam called the same as the song. I was only four years old but I remember vividly.😎✌️☮️

      Your father may have passed in life, but you're fortunate that he is still alive in your heart/mind. There are probably so many more moments you are fortunate to have shared. Write and share them with your children or others and he will live forever. To me a life remembered is a life that never ends. When born, a physical end is the inherent part of life. But I believe and find peace in a love lived and shared that goes beyond. Thank you mom.

    After living 74 years and going serving my country from 66-69, I have seen a lot of things happen in this country. I managed to get through college on my own, with the help of Uncle Sam and a good wife who worked all her life. I even managed to get a Masters Degree and work over 40 years helping other people. During my life, I have always tried to do my part to make the world a better place but I realize now that will never happen. This is Veteran's Day 2021 and I have received a lot of texts saying "thanks for your service". While I do appreciate the thanks that many show us veterans, my prayer is that no more will have to serve and althought I am proud to have served, I wish that I had not had to. When I see leaders who evaded their sacred duty to serve , I know they really have no clue what it means to owe duty and gratitude to one's nation. It really enforces my belief that when the end comes, America will have long ended. I have never been able to find the word America in tbe Bible yet, but I am still looking. Just as it was during the days of this song, the answer is still blowing in the wind.

    It's Bob Dylan's birthday this weekend and we are using this song as hymn this morning at the church I pastor . It's a living piece of art and poetry that has inspired generations of consciences. I remember singing it as a hymn in the church I grew up in in the 60's.

    Mary was such a fox back then! She was enchanting to look at & listen to. She provided the feminine counterpoint to harmonies with Peter & Paul that offered a sentimental longing for better days, expressed in her voice and her facial expressions. Together, Peter, Paul & Mary carved a niche as the epitome of Folk Singers, a spin-off of the Blues tradition of emotionally expressing the pains of injustice, separation from loved ones, & hard-luck. There will always be a strain of Americans who feel this deeply, and see the beauty of humanity in Mary's face.

They are arguably the best folk group of all time, and (IMHO), they are.

There are just sometimes when you know the voices blend and Peter, Paul and Mary ranked up there with Simon and Garfunkel for that kind of "Sound". Folk music gave way to rock and roll and the world moved on but....Please remember that a lot of singers and song writers in those days made their statement to the world. If you know the lyrics.....aren't the questions that they asked still with us today my friends. And I guess we are still asking those same questions. I guess the answer is still....."Blowing in the Wind"

    I just want to give a shout out to the bassist on this recording, Richard Kniss, who you can see off to stage left, obscured in shadow, at the end of the video. This is absolutely the definition of great bass playing for this style of music: The bass part never draws attention away from the vocals, but if you start listing for the bass part, you will realize that he is adding a lot to the song, and I guarantee if you took that part away, the performance wouldn't have the emotional impact it does. Mr. Kniss played with PPM for decades, knowing that most of their fans would never know his name. RIP Richard.

    I swear I was born in wrong generation :(

    Peter, Paul, and Mary were incredible. This video belongs to the ages.

    Perhaps the greatest song ever written. Right up there A Change is Gonna Come and Colours Of The Wind

    2021 The Covid-19 world. 65 yrs old and this music never ages, Peter Paul and Mary changed the world. Their music will never grow old or die out! Love to all!

      I sure do miss the 70s and 80s. The music today is not even the same. Sometimes I wish I could find a time machine and go back in time. Life was much easier and everyone enjoyed life! Is this your favorite song?

      Me too. Before CoVid, Peter and Noel Paul did concerts and the audience would take Mary's parts.

      She dressed so modestly and was drop-dead-gorgeous. If only the current 'stars' could follow suit....

    I grew up listening to Peter Paul and Mary, thanks to my dad. He just died 3 weeks ago, and I will remember him because of this connection
