Mary Travers, we will miss you

The coo of Mary Travers' voice singing "I'm Leaving on a Jet Plane" was one of the most memorable tunes of my teenage years and one of my first 45s.

Her musical activism against the Vietnam War and racial inequality was a defining characteristic of the protest movement of 1960s. The history and the change she saw! She will be missed and the music will be treasured even more than before.
