% And that's the problem
% we have with this song
% is the young people
% have forgotten how to sing.
% We used to sing all the time,
% folks.
% We used to sing at marches.
% We used to sing at parties.
% We used to sing because we loved
% each other, and it formed
% a sense of community.
% Whether it was singing,
% "Row, row, row your boat,
% gently down the stream"
% when you were younger,
% or whether it was singing
% "Puff the Magic Dragon"
% or this song at the opening
% of the March on Washington in
% 1969 to end the war in Vietnam.
% At the time,
% this was a song of peace.
% And it's lasted all this time.
% And now it has, like all songs,
% different meanings, however,
% "Puff the Magic Dragon,"
% forget it,
% there's nothing about drugs,
% I promise you.
% Okay, you don't believe me,
% I just saw you go like...
% Don't roll your eyes at me.
% That's not the way to behave.
% Respect my years.
% I was 20 years old 50 years ago.
% I wrote this song
% with Lenny Lipton.
% I was at Cornell, I know,
% a minor institution to you.
% But it was an institution of
% learning, and at that time in
% 1959, nobody knew about drugs.
% The farthest anybody got
% was beer.
% (sighs)
% I was too innocent.
% Yes, there was a time
% I was too innocent.
% Okay, in any event,
% this has other meanings,
% it's not specifically
% about peace,
% but it's not not about peace.
% Listen to it,
% and you'll understand.
% It's one of the songs that I've
% written that I'm proud of

% and blacks were invisible,

% And seeing that, instead of
% going into what I should've
% done, which is market research,
% and it's a pity that the field
% of market research lost me,
% I went to Greenwich Village

% >> How do you think I would've

% In those days, you would've

% >> Well, forgive me for this,

% The memorial was an
% extraordinary expression of
% an outpouring of the spirit that

% When you heard, it was

% And the whole audience, 2000
% people in this riverside church,
% sang together the song
% that Mary had made iconic,
% and we said goodbye to her.
% And it says, "As I lie in my bed
% in the morning without you,
% each song in my breast
% dies a borning."
% When I first sang that with Tom
% after Mary died, we were on
% a book tour together, he has his
% first book out that I'm working
% with him on, a marvelous story.
% It brought us both to ars
% because our songs,
% they don't "die a borning,"
% but there's part of us
% that's missing.
% Mary was a remarkable person,
% as Gloria Steinem contributed
% her thoughts, she allowed women
% to look at themselves and say,
% "I don't have to be secretive,
% I don't have to be manipulative,
% I can be a real parity person
% with others."
% And when, for instance,
% I was talking about David Hawk,
% when we first met.
% His wife, Joan Libby-Hawk said,
% "When I saw Mary, I said,
% oh my God, I can be like that.
% And guess what,
% the men never minded it."
% Men adored Mary,
% and yet when you heard her sing,
% you didn't say,
% what an extraordinary voice,
% her technique is off the scales,
% you just heard that yearning.
% So when she sang...

% She wasn't just talking about
% somebody who says, "I don't have
% a shirt on my back and a penny
% to my name, I can't go."
% She's talking about a nation
% that couldn't go home
% to what we believed in
% until we did address
% the Civil Rights movement.
% And there her yearning
% for something better would
% characterize the voice of Mary
% Travers to all of America.
% >> Musically speaking, to the
% musician in her, to the musician
% in the trio, how did you
% play off of her voice?
% >> You know, Mary has the
% character of a lead voice.
% Your attention is drawn to it.
% And she and I had voices that
% could blend extraordinarily.
% In fact, there were a lot of
% portions where we sang duo, for
% instance, we'd sing "Jesus Met
% The Woman At The Well," and the
% voices were like a Rothko
% painting where you can't tell
% where one color ends
% and the other one begins.
% It's like something that happens

% it's like the Everly Brothers,
% you know?
% So Mary and I, we were brought

% Now, he sang it like a crooner,
% because his background was pop
% and rock, he even had a group
% called "The Birds of Paradise."
% So he had to morph
% into our relationship,
% but we learned from him, too,
% because he also had jazz.
% When he sang, you know the song
% that he wrote called
% "What's Her Name?"
% I don't know if you've
% ever heard of it.
% >> No, but you can hear it,
% he's almost ready to scat
% on some of these.
% >> Yes, exactly.
% And it was he that fell
% in love with the Beatles
% and kind of brought us
% to kind of dig with it.
% He wrote the song,
% "I Dig Rock and Roll Music...
% and I love to get the chance..."
% >> I hope that you can sing a

% >> Oh, yeah.
% >> Yeah, even still?
% >> No.
% >> No, I'm not onstage,

% As a matter of fact, in order
% to keep myself in another place
% where it's real, I tend to be

% >> You're in places that some
% people could hardly stand
% the thought of performing.
% >> That's right.
% >> The John F. Kennedy
% White House, what was that like?
% >> We sang at the National Guard
% Armory after his first year
% in the presidency,
% to honor him and raise money.
% And at that gathering, there
% were icons such as Eve Montan,
% Carol Burnett,
% Gene Kelly,
% Joan Sutherland,
% the opera singer.
% And we sang "Lemon Tree"
% and "If I Had a Hammer," which
% was a huge hit at that point.
% And it was after "Lemon Tree,"
% our second hit.
% We went to the vice president's
% home where we sang,
% Mary in her long,
% full-length satin white gown.
% I want to tell you, Mary and I
% were brother and sister, but
% if that had not been the case,
% I mean, nobody could stand
% how beautiful she was.
% She was just exquisite.
% Of course, the president
% couldn't have been less
% interested in her.
% I'm kidding, I'm kidding.
% He had an eye for the women.
% And Jackie adored her, too.
% And at a certain point, she sang
% "500 Miles," and everybody
% just sighed.
% And then we sang "Puff the Magic
% Dragon," and before I sang it,
% I said, because folk music
% had not become popular.
% I said,
% "This is called folk music.
% And in folk music it's very
% common for people, rather than
% standing as you are, to sit down
% on the rug and share with us,
% and just sing along."
% And guess who the first person
% sitting on the rug was?
% The president.
% And he sat down, and of course
% everybody else sat down.
% But there were no old people
% in the White House then who
% couldn't sit down on the rug,
% it was all young people.
% He was a very young president.
% >> Interesting that he was
% the first one to sit.
% >> We sat down and we sang
% together, and at the end of it,
% Jackie stayed longer than she
% had for a long time at any
% party, and the band that was
% really Lawrence Welk kind of
% music, or maybe it was Lawrence
% Welk himself, broke into the
% Twist, and there was Lyndon
% Johnson twisting with Mary
% Travers, and it just broke it up
% into a sense of warmth and
% humanity as folk music does.
% And that's really the point
% I want to make.
% All of these songs that
% I'm singing now, or that are
% in the books that I've done,
% are free for all educators
% to bring back
% to the lives of children.
% Go and download them for free
% from operationrespect.org
% which is the non-profit

% >> I want to ask you a little
% more about that in our next

% like to trot away now and ask
% you to sing a couple of songs
% with me out of your hair.
% >> I'd like you to trot away.
