Around two years ago, I took a songwriting workshop with you at Bagaduce Music in Blue Hill. I asked you how to write a protest song that won't piss off the people you want to reach. You simply played One and Many, which resonated so much, it brought me to tears. Now, I'm wondering if an aging, but still aspiring songwriter could share another song or two with you... Thanks for all you do!

Oh WOW how exciting !! You are writing a book I can wait There Is Love. and Strings God Bless you and all those you hold dear. There is LOVE Cricket

Hello there, we’ve never met but my wife and I both separately grew up listening to your music with Peter and Mary. Just the other day we have welcomed into this world our beautiful baby boy Ulysses and it seems his favorite song is Gone the Rainbow! Also, Puff the Magic Dragon was the song playing in the background while our baby boy finally came out! I guess I’m writing you this to say that your music will continue on and reach the next generation ◡̈

Greetings Paul, Recently revisited my collection of PP&M CDs, and listened over and over to 'Danny's Downs. We run a music group here in Raglan, as a community offering, one of our members is a young woman Annie-Rose, who was born with Down syndrome. Annie Rose is 26 years old, and participate fully in the group. We have performed a number of times at a number of venues. I have used the wonderful PP&M songs, most recent 'The Hymn'. I would like to get the chords for Danny's Downs, but for some reason I cannot find a chord sheet for this song on-line. Just wondering if it might be possible to get this anywhere.

Thank you for a lifetime of music and guitar inspiration. When will the book be available?

Dear Noel Paul, our 40th wedding anniversary is this Sunday September 20. We selected Wedding Song to be played before my wife and father walked down the aisle. Our singer/guitarist and I worked out an arrangement with him on acoustic and me on electric guitar. It sounded pretty cool. I was more nervous about playing guitar than getting married. Thank you for such a beautiful song for all of us married couples. Your guitar arrangement on the original is amazing. I still have the 45 that I bought of Wedding Song all those years ago. Also thank you for making it public domain and sharing this wonderful song for all of us. We hope this finds you well. Bernadette and Roger Peters 9/20/1986.

Dear Mr. Stookey; Your concert was a gift from my bride and arrived at just the right moment. In a time of dark failed government and open crimes against humanity; it was also the 24th anniversary our blind date; 25th of 9/11; a neighbor and friend surviving a cardiac arrest, the celebration of life of the last person who brought me back to Boston, and days in Hokkaido with my daughter and grandson. A PBS fundraiser early August with you and your original trio took DG and I back to happier days; she bought tickets on the spot for your concert at the Kate in Old Saybrook, CT. Outside was is its annual memorial - 2,977 flags, in memory of every life lost on 9/11 and a book with the names and biographies of the victims. Your music was our coming of age and the emotions of America's ongoing journey. You announced intermission and that we’d return in 45 minutes. Then you introduced us to your latest project and the Manulenjo,and the story about writing of the Marriage Song.. I thought you were speaking to us and at another of your performances we invite you to dinner to tell you the end of the story that started our second spiritual journey. thank you so much for the inspiration Matt & DG

Hello. Hope this story will fit. My wife and I were married in SF on September 24, 1978. About to celebrate 48 years. We live in California and are visiting New England in a few short days. We had a family friend sing 2 songs at our wedding. The wedding song was one of them. In planning this trip and looking for things to do, Stephanie and I found that you are performing on our anniversary only 30 minutes from where we are staying. I immediately purchased tickets. We would be most appreciative if you would consider playing the Wedding Song that night. It would mean so much to us.

Greetings, We are excited to see you at The Kate on Friday night! Our super fan club of three will be short one, my brother, Bobby, your biggest fan. You were kind enough to stop to give Bob a hug when you exited Cary Hall in Lexington, MA and found us lurking in the dark, waiting to say thank you. I have the picture of the two of you and the joy is contagious. If I bring it, or maybe send it, might you autograph it for Bob, and me, until we can get him to a show in MA? With immense joy and gratitude, D.
