Just lovely to find this thread. Like so many of you, I saw her perform in Edmonton from the early '80s until the last Edmonton Folk Fest she played before her - very untimely - death. What a terrible loss. I remember how hard it hit the folk music community. I had the album Wintersong as well - no idea today where it is sadly - so thank you to whoever put her songs up on YouTube, but I have to say that along with loving so many of her songs, I will never forget the night she sang "Oh Mother, How Pretty" - and I sang all the words with her. Joan was the first person I'd ever heard, outside of my family, to know that song. As in her family, my mother sang it to me, and my grandmother sang it to my mother before. It is a treasured lullaby in our family. And to find that it was also a traditional lullaby in Joan's family was amazing.

Happy memories. She is not forgotten - she still sings in our hearts.
