We're joined this episode by Paul Stookey of Peter, Paul and Mary.
Their group, which carried on the tradition of roots music from people like Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger and the Weavers, moved folk music into the mainstream during the 1960s and 70s with such songs of conscience as Blowing in the Wind, If I Had a Hammer, Where Have All the Flowers Gone, El Salvador, The Times They Are a Changing, etc.
Talking to Paul is part of our podcast’s effort to keep story and message alive through generations.
