Hi Tunesmith,

Thanks for pointing me to Carolyn Hester! A unique talent for sure! I also like her sparse guitar accompaniment. I thought I wanted to stay in my punk band, but, Joan Baez, traditional folk music and this site, has changed my life forever! I'm listening to Carolyn Hester now. I read how she almost became the folk queen in the early 60's.

Wesley S. - I purchased two Judy Collins folk albums today at my local thrift store ($1.00 each). I will listen to her shortly. Thanks everyone for sharing your Joan Baez memories and stories.

Peace,
Amy
