Peter Yarrow, From Peter Paul and Mary Talks Bob Dylan, Dr. Martin Luther King, Puff The Magic Dragon And His New Book I'm In Love With A Big Blue Frog

How often do you get to say Peter Yarrow from Peter, Paul, and Mary sang me a Valentine's Day Song, and so today I am Peter Yarrow's valentine.

America has it's folk music and Peter Yarrow, of Peter Paul and Mary, is right there at the top. They performed at the 1963 March On Washington where Dr. Martin Luther King delivered his "I Have A Dream Speech." Never once, did I think I would ever have the opportunity to talk to someone who was actually at that march, that day. (Thank you Peter for sharing in detail what that day looked and felt like. WOW!)

Peter, Paul and Mary came up at a time when they were inspired to make music that meant something socially. There was a cause, a purpose, a reason that they were doing what they were doing. It wasn't for "celebrity" like so many chase after today. I believe they recognized that they had a platform and an opportunity to affect social change in a positive way. Who really does that in music today? GaGa is the only one that is at the top of my mind.

Peter published Puff The Magic Dragon a few years back, a children's book, but really loved by all. His latest book is "I'm In Love With A Big Blue Frog." In it he touches on prejudice and racial issues, hopefully this story will somehow open those little minds up and allow a new thought to be pushed in.
