Peter, Paul And Mary
From Greenwich Village To Fame
Peter, Paul, and Mary, whose common interest in folk singing brought them together in Greenwich Village, will sing in a concert at Allen Field House at 8 p.m. March 30.
Mary Allin Travers, a tall willowy blonde, held jobs in literary and advertising agencies until 1961 when she met Paul Stookey in the Village.
Paul was the highest paid comedian in the Village at that time, though he had played the guitar in his high school days.
PETER YARROW is a graduate from Cornell University in psychology but he also was an instructor in folk ballads.
Concerning their merger as a group, Paul said, manager Al Grossman "had the idea long before he had us. . he believes the American people will buy pure beauty and dedication, that this vacuum exists in America, and a lot of people want it filled."
"We are a cosmopolitan group." Peter Yarrow said . . . "We can present in a modern musical form the feelings of many ethnic groups, and do it with integrity."
WITH THEIR LEAN look, the trio might belong to the hills of Scotland, Tennessee, or the Balkans. Actually, Mary Allin Travers was born in Louisville, Ky., and Paul Stookey grew up in Birmingham, Mich., before the group merged in Peter's native New York.
All were born in 1937, and have had life-long interests in folk singing, especially Mary, who has been singing folk songs since her kindergarten days.
The trio of Peter, Paul, and Mary has risen to the top in the field of folk singing in the last two years.
PAUL FEELS that "folk music is the simple, yet profound way people tell about their lives. . I believe we are able, sometimes, to say what they want said."
Peter, who is also a painter, said,
"My esthetic beliefs were established early through my painting
... I am a disciple of asymmetrical balance, which I found transferable to the guitar. It strongly shapes my approach to folk music."
In her youth, Mary sang with two teen-age groups that made it to Carnegie Hall twice. "But I never dared sing on my own," she says, "I was scared to death." The trio currently has a Warner Bros. album out entitled "Peter, Paul, and Mary."
THERE WILL BE about 10,000 seats available for the concert which will be sponsored by Student Union Activities.
Ticket prices will be $1.25 for main floor and bleacher seats, $1 for first balcony seats, and $.75 for second balcony seats.
Tickets will be sold in three categories: dormitories and scholarship halls, fraternity and sorority houses, and individual sales.
Block ticket sales will go to the first two groups who will compete among each other on a percentage basis for the best in their section. At least 1,000 main floor tickets will be sold to individuals, according to the SUA.
STUDENT IDENTIFICATION cards will be required to buy tickets. Individual groups wishing to purchase a block (more than six) should take their orders to the activities director's office in the Kansas Union on March 19.
Individual sales will be limited to six per person on the first day of sale, March 21.
Over 3,000 first balcony seats have been reserved for groups who also will be held to a minimum of six tickets for a block.
