dedalus Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 It does feel like the passing of an era ... it was PPM, after all, who made that brilliant recording of "Blowin' in the Wind" that was a first major step in bringing Bob Dylan, who wrote the song, into prominence. They were the bright and shiny and acceptable side of the folk movement (which NOBODY was listening to in the 1950s and early 60s ... except, maybe, Hang Down Your Head, Tom ... Dooley) and their upbeat songs helped popularise other then completely-unknown folk musicians. This, I think, was their real legacy. On the other hand, they did come up with "Puff, the Magic Dragon", one of the most toe-curlingly awful songs in musical history! A fitting tribute, all the same ....

goldenlangur Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Hi victor, A lyrical tribute for a much loved singer. I like these images: in the early morning raini feel the teardrops hit my face as though the sky was crying on me .... Also the detail: "golden gates of life". Thank you.

Aleksandra Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Ah Victor what a nice tribute where it feels some calm and love. The same feelings I got while listening the song Puff the Magic Dragon. I never heard before about this lovely singer, and now I enjoy the songs. Thank you for this nice poem. May her soul rest in peace. Alek Quote The poet is a liar who always speaks the truth - Jean Cocteau History of Macedonia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
