Mary Travers, Dead at 72

Somehow, even when you know someone has been sick for years, passes away, it comes as a shock. Mary Travers, of Peter, Paul, and Mary fame, has died of Leukemia, and I feel so sad to hear the news.

Maybe it's a 60's thing, but I always thought that Mary Travers left a trail of good Karma where ever she went. If you believe in auras, Mary's was always radiating a swirling kaleidoscope of bright greens and blues and yellows, sort of a translucent version of a tie-dyed T-shirt.

What a voice; powerful yet lyric. Was there any song that wasn't improved by the addition of her vocal touch?

And so it goes.
