So kick back, unwind, and groove with me and the rest of the WDEV crew, to sounds of the 60s. We got it all baby, from Motown, to the Beach Boys, to the neon lights of Broadway, and that far out British invasion. And don’t forget those Mamas & Papas, and Simons & GarfunkelsGarfunkles, and Funks and Wagnall’s, and whatever else was hot back when we was young baby, ‘cause we got it all.

I bet you didn’t know it, but some of Bob Dylan’s best songs would still be gathering dust in his basement without this kool trio to get them the air time they deserved. And folk icon Pete Seeger would still be under investigation by the FBI if it weren’t for their tireless efforts in making his socialist diatribes into something far more ready for prime-time. So when you’re puffin away at your next protest rally, remember this: without Peter, Paul, and Mary, it wouldn’t be fashionable to be a protester!
