Dear Guest in Oklahoma.. I should think that anyone who goes through an entire lifetime never having hard "The Road To Listoonvarna " ought to regard themselves as having an inordinate amount of very Good luck....As for Joan Baez..

When it comes to long standing knowledge of the plight of folk music.. I guess Joan could be considered to have some expertise. Also, Dear Canoer..sorry about your school system ....
