Bluff, The Magic Draggin'

Peter Yarrow of Peter, Paul & Mary: "Puff wasn't about drugs."  Peter (with guitar, right) appeared at the 13th annual Talkers Magazine New Media Seminar March 19th in NYC where he was joined in song by the hastily-formed New Media Singers Jim Bohannon, Talkers publisher Michael Harrison, Ellen Ratner, talk radio hostess Stephanie Miller (in red sequin number).

Ellen decked out the troupe with John Lennon granny glasses and peace signs.  Peter, who berated my husband with "How could you do that? Take that beautiful woman (me) out of circulation?", was so smitten (says hubby) he dragged me up to Michael Harrison imploring I join the New Media Singers on stage. To Peter, the answer, my friend, was blowin' in the wind.  Or blowin' up MY end. Unfortunately I'd left my granny glasses, long dress, and roach clip in the sixties.

To invoke the hackneyed phrase:  Jim, Michael, Stephanie, and Ellen - keep your day jobs! In the background:  famous sixties artist Peter Max. Peter was absolutely enchanted with my story of registering for a Peter Max red enamel coffee tray and matching pot (not that kind) with a trademark Max design featured at an upscale Michigan store in 1970 - the year of my first marriage.  Peter was absolutely enchanted with me - but that's another story. Wedding Song (There Is Love).  And divorce.



Peter, Paul & Mary's first hit "If I Had A Hammer" hit the charts in 1962.
