Today is the birthday (in 1936) of Mary Travers. She, along with Peter Yarrow and Paul Stuckey were ‘Peter, Paul and Mary’ one of the most successful groups of the folk revival of the sixties. One of their biggest hits was Bob Dylan’s ‘Blowin’ in the Wind’ which they sang at the 1963 March on Washington.

A change of seasons

On this day in 1972 James Taylor and Carly Simon were married in her apartment by a judge. Eleven years later they divorced. Shortly after marrying Taylor, Simon released this song which she says is about three different men, but definitely not Taylor and also definitely not about me. I love the bass riff at the beginning…

Five years later, Carly Simon released this song which I always assumed was about me but in any case is certainly the best James Bond song.
