Is it appropriate to play a little Puff the magic dragon in honor?

yes.

“I am deadened and heartsick beyond words to consider a life without Mary Travers and honored beyond my wildest dreams to have shared her spirit and her career.” - Paul Stookey

“It was, as Mary always was, honest and completely authentic,” he said. “That’s the way she sang, too; honestly and with complete authenticity.” - Paul Yarrow

I was fortunate enough to see them perform at the Puyallup Fair several years ago

That song was about drugs. :notamused: Tainted my childhood forever after I found out!! :cry:

Too bad she is gone though.

According to her,, in interviews I'd see and read, as well as the fellows. The song was not about drugs or weed. That song LONG preceded those times.

The world is a little colder, a little darker today.
I grew up listening to Peter Paul & Mary, have seen them
multiple times and saw Mary as a solo artist a few times,
for me, PP&M along with Phil Ochs, Pete Seeger, and a few others defined
the early 60's for me.

Siu, Puff the Magic dragon is decidedly NOT about drugs.

The people who think it's about drugs generally haven't actually listened to the lyrics. It's about growing up and losing your imagination.
