I am disappointed in channel 13’s response to the death of Mary Travers
MARY TRAVERS deserves more reconition for her contributions to humanity
Your should do a tribute to Mary Travers. Her reach went far beyond Joan Baez, in terms of longevity. I hope to see a fitting tribute as soon as you can produce one.
Joan inspired me when I was living in “communist” Poland in 1960’s, and 70’s. Now, when I am here, it helped me to get through the period I was unemplyed. Thanks Joan!
I too was quite sad to hear about Mary Travers passing and feel there should be an acknowledgement of her contributions as well, but please don’t belittle Joan for her contributions. She has long deserved this recognition and praise. I will watch this American Masters episode with great anticipation and delight. You are truly magnificent, Joan.
I would like to thank Bill for addressing the faultfinders in a positive and respectful manner.
Mary would not want it this way
will this video television 13 documentary on joan baez be viewable after october 13 in complete version?

I am 63 and followed all of Joan’s work throughout the 60’s and 70’s and found great joy and compassion in her voice and causes. She is an icon in the folk singers community and am truly excited about seeing her this evening. When she sang at Pete Seger’s 90th she was still amazing. Thanks for your continued support of the arts and folk music in general.
Joan is a tribute to women’s participation in art
and social justice. It is with great admiration and pleasure that I look forward to this evenings’
program featuring one of my all-time heroines.Thank
you Joan and Channel 13!!
Mary allin Tracers, has long deserved recognition and praise for her contribution for human rights. Joan, Mary the best of the best. Can’t wait to see Joan tonight.Thank you PBS
Joae Baez…her music and her social activism…shaped my approach to life and my belief in social justice. We MUST continue in her spirit1
A tribute to Mary Allin Travers, needs to done.One of the greats has gone, never to be forgotten. PBS you are the greatest. Thank-you for all the pleasure you have given me.
For me, Joan Baez’s peformance of “Where Have All The Flowers Gone?” at Pete Seeger’s 90th birthday celebration was very moving and inspiring.
Her social and political awareness and convictions, her strength, courage, dignity and grace, and the beautiful and powerful way in which she has always communicated those things through her presence, her music and her words have always meant a great deal to me.
Her actions, words, and music shaped my own social values and views in important and lasting ways. So I agree completely with Lorraine that we must carry forward her spirit and thought. In fact, it is clearly becoming increasingly more important and urgent that we do so.
Hope you will repeat the Joan Baez program; I could not have a chance to see it; also please highlight Mary (of Peter, Paul and Mary); shw was such a warm, lovely lady.
Joan Baez is good, but I wish Thirteen would do a show about the English folk movement. I have never been a fan of the American stuff. I think a show spotlighting singers like Sandy Denny, Annie Haslam, Maddy Prior, Judy Dyble, and Jane Relf would be better.
(Just an opinion).
