Ten years is not even a speck in
time, but for things like
marriage, persons like little
boys, and musical unions it is a
very long time.

The old man is snoring
Bumped his head

And he couldn’t get up

Peter, Paul and Mary are
today the results of ten years of
togetherness, taken in any sense
of the word. From the resources
of the rich delta of the Bitter End
and on to international tours this
trio has played before virtually
every type of audience. They’ve
sang many songs, to many heads,
and preached many gospels. The
message was originally the
material of such traditional
sources as Seeger, Travers,
Lightfoot, Van Ronk and Dylan.
Then the combined talents of
Peter and Paul began working
out original songs, with Mary
adding her poetry.
The liner notes from an album
released back in 1962 describe the
trio as, ‘“Two bearded prophets
of the folk idiom in league with a
bright, young blonde-and-a-half.’
And vocally as ‘An angel, and two
cellos playing guitars.’” This
was after they had been together
nearly a year, and now nearly ten
years later they are still hitting
home with the word.
When one thinks of Peter, Paid
and Mary an almost immediate
association with the Civil Rights
Movement and the Peace
Movement is made. ‘Ole Miss’ in
‘62, Washington in ‘63, all through
the South, campuses across the
a)untry, overseas, the Smothers
Brothers show, everyplace and
everywhere to everyone who
would listen.
At the present what concerns
me is 10 Years Together which is
a greatest hits album for the trio.
The best of whoever albums
rarely interest me, but this one
does. Perhaps because when I
was buying albums my head was
into heavy things, perhaps, who
knows, perhaps anything...

Much of the best material
Peter, Paul and Mary have ever
done is on this album. Whenever
you consider how many songs
they’ve put out you realize that
every one can't possibly be put on
one album. Nevertheless this
album contains many which are
'i .-itely among the best.
‘Biowin’ In the Wind,’ written
by Dylan is done beautifully. It is
perhaps one of the best songs
ever released. The searching one
is turned to the motion of nature
and yes it was there. . .“on the
waters of oblivion. ”
The traditional advice on love
is included from the ‘62 album in
the form of ‘Lemon Tree.’ It’s a
strange message, but it is so often
true. ‘Stewball’ is a track four
and the guitar and vocal
arrangement is another of the
‘best‘.
Lord I'm one
Lord I’m two
Lord I’m three
Lord I'm four
Lord I'm five hundred
miles from my home.”
‘Early Mornm' I-L-nn’ is the sort
of song that every traveling folk
guitarist must write sooner or
later. Many of them write it

more than once. This one is
Gordon Lightfoot’s. ‘Leaving on
a Jet Plane’ is another’s and it is
another of the high points of
Peter,Paul and Mary’s career.
‘Puff .'The Magic Dragon)’
which was written fay Peter and
Paul has been interpreted many
ways, some obvious, some not-so,
but the most appealing to me is
simply taking the lyrics at face
value. To me the tale of a little
boy and a dragon is enough. “. . .

Another Dylan song, ‘Don’t
Think Twice. It’s All Right’ is
presented with all that
everything good ever was.. .days
of future past. . .Peter Seeger’s
warning, love song, ‘lf I Had A
Hammer’, and the song still
needs to be sung to America, is
the last to be commented on here.
“Tell my why you’re crying my
son
I know you’re frightened like
everyone
Is it the thunder in the distance
you fear
Will it help if I stay very near
I am here
And if you take my hand my
son
All will be well when the day is
done...”
Jack Lemmon and Catherine
Deneuve will be the SUB
