As a young, aspiring folk singer, part of a group of school friends, Peter, Paul & Mary (along with Gordon Lightfoot, Janis Ian and others of the era) were one of my touchstones. Leaving On A Jet Plane was a perennial favourite, along with I Dig Rock And Roll Music - but it has always been the story songs, the protest songs that were closest to the heart. So many have gone now, but it's good to hear from some of those who remain, and listening to Noel Paul Stookey is a real treat. Thanks, Mike.
