Farewell to a Folk Icon
The world mourns the loss of Peter Yarrow, the legendary singer-songwriter and founding member of the iconic folk trio Peter, Paul and Mary, who has died at the age of 86, as confirmed by The New York Times.
A defining voice of the 1960s folk revival, Yarrow helped shape a generation with powerful anthems like “Puff the Magic Dragon,” “Blowin’ in the Wind,” and “If I Had a Hammer.” But his influence stretched far beyond music—he was a tireless advocate for civil rights, peace, and justice, using his songs to inspire change and unite hearts.
Even after the trio disbanded in the 1970s, Yarrow remained deeply engaged—performing, writing, and standing up for the causes he believed in. From marches to classrooms, he lent his voice to those who needed it most.
Peter Yarrow wasn’t just a musician—he was a movement. And while the man may be gone, his message of love, compassion, and hope will continue to echo for generations.
Thank you for the music, Peter. ️

mais um que nos deixa, nosso patrono ÁLAMO

Morreu o nosso Álamo.
E ficamos todos mais pobres. O seu Raminho não mais será a mesma terra. Nem os Açores serão.
Viverá eternizado nos seus escritos universais.
Já não vamos a tempo da próxima aventura.
Abraço-te!
poemas meus a ele dedicados

620. ao álamo (moinhos) 11 ago 2013

 
nesta modorra matinal
parado na contemplação de mar
lendo murmúrios com vinho de missa (**)
ignoro os corpos e as areias
olvido copos e sereias
e imagino que o mundo acabou
pode ter sido um asteroide
ou tsunami ou vulcão
e nós aqui na calma açoriana
sem saber nem sentir
continuamos a fruir a vida
 
se o mundo acabasse agora
não daríamos conta
 
nem o padre raúl nos salvava
nem a professora lucília o narrava
(**in álamo oliveira, 2013)
