Carolyn Hester was Richard Farina's first wife; Farina was notable both as a singer/songwriter and a novelist ("Been Down So Long It Looks Like Up To Me"), and recorded a couple of decent albums with his second wife, Mimi Baez Farina (Joan's sister).

Carolyn appears on the video of the Bob Dylan 50th Anniversary Concert (subject of a thread here a few months ago), singing harmony with Nanci Griffin (Griffith?) on "Spanish Boots of Spanish Leather," which they had recently recorded as a duet on an album of Nanci's.

Bob Dylan's first appearance on a record was, indeed, as a backup harmonica player on a Carolyn Hester album.

Ms. Hester may not have attained the same level of stardom as Joan Baez, Judy Collins, Mary Travers, and Joni Mitchell, but she got there first (i.e., she started prforming and recording a year or two earlier than any of those others) and ~ irrelevant as it might be ~ she was the best-looking of the bunch, an absolute beauty (even at 60+ years old on the Dylan concert video).
