Put In:
Peter, Paul, and Mary – Blowing in the Wind 3.00
Oh they were good – They really did help change things.
The 60’s were When Americans became BIG in Folk.
Then an English guy called Paul Simon teamed-Up with
a guy called Art Garfunkle, and A Song was born that
REALLY changed the Folk World:
Put In:
