By Brad Aspey

Since 1962, Peter, Paul & Mary have been household names. Many consider them the most successful folk ensemble ever, with hits like, "Blowin' in the Wind," "Leaving on a Jet Plane" and "If I Had a Hammer."

But 8 months ago, Mary Travers lost her life due to an elaborate medical treatment.

Through their grief, Peter Yarrow and Noel Paul Stookey discussed whether to continue performing. The answer was 'yes' and tonight Interlochen will host one of their performances.
