Some exciting news to share. Unsurprisingly, I haven't heard back from Baez's management, but Tuesday evening I had the pleasure of speaking on the phone with...

TOSSI AARON!

Yes, she is still around, and living near Philadelphia. We spoke for about an hour, and it was a wonderful conversation. I had the feeling she was pleasantly surprised to find someone was researching her. She had all sorts of interesting stories to tell, like when Bob Dylan and his girlfriend spent the weekend at her house in 1962. And she did confirm that her album was recorded before Joan Baez's first album, so we can finally put to rest who did the first recording. As Bob suggested above, it was definitely Tossi.

Bob, she had a few questions for you that I prefer not to share publicly. Please e-mail me off-list if you get a chance.
