About a quarter century ago, I was watching Ed McCurdy and Jamie Snider playing on the main stage at MARIPOSA. When Ed started to sing Last Night I Had The Strangest Dream, Joan came out and walked up behind them. They were sitting on chairs facing the audience and didn't see her till she started singing a harmony. Later that summer Ed played a festival in Cobourg and I had the job of taxiing him around. When I mentioned that incident, he said that it was one of the highlights of his career. He had had a crush on her since the first time he saw her perform.
