I did meet Peter Yarrow and Mary Travers after a PP&M concert, and Peter was a "know it all" who turned me off.
Mary gave the impression she wanted to be any place else. Paul Stookey showed some class, joked around and made fans feel welcome.
Everybody liked Paul.
As far as albums are concerned, and their performances on records and in concert, I placed PP&M second to The Kingston Trio based on talent,
and NOT on Peter nor Mary's attitudes behind the scenes.
As for PP&M's "Holier Than Thou" attitude, you've got no argument from me!

Without starting an argument I would put Peter, Paul and Mary down to 5 or 6. They were too self righteous that turned me off. Peter and Mary were stand offish after concerts and acted like they were better than. Paul Stookey was very nich and accommodating to the fans
