💫 Remembering Mary Travers on her heavenly birthday today — born November 9, 1936.

With that golden hair, soulful voice, and quiet strength, Mary was the heart and soul of Peter, Paul & Mary, one of the most beloved folk groups of the 1960s. 🎶✌️ Their harmonies were pure magic, and Mary’s voice gave them their warmth, their power, and their edge.

From “If I Had a Hammer” and “Blowin’ in the Wind” to “Puff the Magic Dragon,” her voice helped carry a generation through moments of hope, protest, and change. The trio didn’t just sing folk songs... they gave a voice to the civil rights and anti-war movements, performing at rallies, marches, and events that helped shape history.

Mary wasn’t just a singer, she was a truth-teller, an activist, and a woman who stood for what she believed in. Even offstage, she remained fiercely independent and passionate about justice and equality.

“Music is a way to dream together and go to another dimension.” – Mary Travers Who else still gets chills hearing those songs?

Before he ever became the soulful outlaw poet of country music, Kris Kristofferson was a U.S. Army captain, a helicopter pilot, and a Rhodes Scholar who could’ve had a lifelong military career if he wanted it.✈️🎶

But fate had other plans, he traded his uniform for a guitar, swept floors in a studio, and even famously landed a helicopter in Johnny Cash’s yard just to get his songs heard!

From “Help Me Make It Through the Night” to “Me and Bobby McGee,” to acting in classics like A Star Is Born, Kristofferson carved a path all his own.

Discipline of a soldier, soul of a poet, heart of a dreamer. Not many folks can say they’ve lived two legendary lives. 👏💫

Happy 76th Birthday to the Queen of Slide Guitar, Bonnie Raitt! 💙🎸

A true American original, Bonnie Raitt has spent over five decades blending a soulful voice, roots-rock grit, and some of the sweetest, fiercest slide guitar you'll ever hear. She is a 13-time Grammy winner and is rightly enshrined in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Bonnie's journey is an inspiration, proving that authenticity and talent eventually win: She started her career in the early 70s as a deeply respected blues and folk artist, playing alongside and learning from legends like Mississippi Fred McDowell and John Lee Ho**er. She was a musician's musician.

After years of critical acclaim but limited commercial success, and overcoming personal struggles, her career saw a massive, well-deserved resurgence in 1989 with the album Nick of Time. It swept the Grammys, won Album of the Year, and launched her into global superstardom at age 40.

She has a legendary gift for taking a song written by someone else and making it completely her own. Who can forget the devastating, tear-jerking power of her version of "I Can't Make You Love Me" or the swagger of "Something to Talk About"?

Beyond the music, Bonnie has a lifelong commitment to social causes, including environmental activism (she was a founding member of MUSE - Musicians United for Safe Energy) and working to preserve the legacy of blues artists who inspired her.

Raise a glass and let's toast a woman who embodies resilience, raw talent, and rock-solid integrity! Which Bonnie Raitt song is the one that always gives you the chills?
