Words of Wisdom

Peter, Paul and Mary have been my folk heros as long as I can remember - I consider myself fortunate to have lived through the '60's when folk song had its great revival and these three wonderful singers were at the top of the movement.

Indeed, the era for me marked the beginnings of my own coming of age, artistically. I was so inspired that I had to try my own hand at the guitar - a Martin no less that I bought and taught myself with ------ all way back when.........

Fast forward now about 25 years into the 90's; my youngest son Hunter has entered PS 6, the elementary school right around the corner from where we lived in New York City - and I discover that it is the venue for an annual Christmas concert that Peter Yarrow - the "Peter" of the group and a New York City resident - gives at the school in honor of his own son who had graduated from there some years before. Talk about six degrees of separation........

Channel 13, New York's PBS station is airing for the next 2 weeks, an exclusive 1/2 hour special interview w/ Peter. He is one of the most sensitive, heart warming and positive human beings you will ever have the privilege of listening to. i urge all to tune in and enjoy.

For those outside of the viewing area, I am trying to urge Ch. 13 to put the interview out onto the broader PBS system. Be especially keen to listen for one of his most tenderist and uplifting pieces - With Your Face To The Wind - written for a close friend of his who was fighting cancer when Peter wrote it, to give her strength and spirit and to let her know that she was not alone......
It will lift your spirits as it did mine, i promise............
