I love Joan Baez, too! I saw her in concert many years ago at the Shoreline in Concord. I love so many of her songs, but I think my favorite it Forever Young. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4UoJ47SzjA

Estelle - I saw her in an outdoor concert in the park in Santa Barbara years ago. She is magical to listen to in person - you know?

MsB. I do absolutely love The Night they Drove old Dixie Down. Here is a young Joan Baez singing her biggest hit. -http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnS9M03F-fA

I was just listening to some Joan Baez. Here is another fantastic song: Diamonds and Rust.

She totally wrote it about Bob Dylan.
"Diamonds & Rust"

Well I'll be damned
Here comes your ghost again
But that's not unusual
It's just that the moon is full
And you happened to call
And here I sit
Hand on the telephone
Hearing a voice I'd known
A couple of light years ago
Heading straight for a fall

As I remember your eyes
Were bluer than robin's eggs
My poetry was lousy you said
Where are you calling from?
A booth in the midwest
Ten years ago
I bought you some cufflinks
You brought me something
We both know what memories can bring
They bring diamonds and rust

Well you burst on the scene
Already a legend
The unwashed phenomenon
The original vagabond
You strayed into my arms
And there you stayed
Temporarily lost at sea
The Madonna was yours for free
Yes the girl on the half-shell
Would keep you unharmed

Okay, will give my age away: Saw Joan Baez at the Newport Folk Festival introducing a "newcomer":
Bob Dylan! With my teen friends, we HATED

what happened there? We HATED the Dylan music...still, had a blast!
