All My Trials

Listening to a lot of Peter, Paul, and Mary today-now "All My Trials"--i forgot how many songs Mary sang lead on, this song is one--of course, it's the same song that Elvis used as part of his "American Trilogy"---the part I guess that is unique is that in songs like this and "The Last Thing on My Mind" is that Mary sings the low part and Peter and Paul harmonize in a higher voice. One of my favorite songs she sang is actually not a P,P, and M song---it's a Paul Simon song, "Song for the Asking"--Mary does it in her own arrangement and makes it her own song--at least not just a copy of Simon singing it. I am amazed by the lack of coverage that her death has generated--at least to call attention to all her contributions and what she actually did for music and human rights/civil rights, even today--i mean if something had happened to Kanye West or other present "singers"=i can only imagine the media frenzy---oh, well, the world continues to spin and i guess it will average out in the end--
peace
