As a successful artist and activist, Peter Yarrow’s talent is legendary. His gift for songwriting has produced some of the most moving songs Peter, Paul & Mary have recorded, including Puff, The Magic Dragon, Day Is Done, The Great Mandala and Light One Candle. His musical creativity has always gone hand in hand with his commitment to social justice and equity in society
Before his performance, Peter was out front sign autographs and posing for photos...
Unfortunately, the first half of Peter's performance was political commentary, which did not sit well with much of his audience, who thought they had paid to hear the great "Peter, Paul and Mary" songs we grew up with. Instead much of the 1st half was social preaching, So over a 1/3rd of the audience had left by the break. Peter would be wise to tailor his shows more to the audience he is preforming for, since no one at the OTOW show thought they were going to attend a "protest rally".
The 2nd half of the show was much better with more songs and sing-a-longs of favorites....
