I'm 34 years old and i meet Joan in 1996 in Dijon (France) ! I will never forget how i was enjoy when she appeared on stage ! LIKE in my Child's dreams ! ! she was barefoot with absolutely splendid jewels on her feet and a very beautiful red dress and she came alone with her guitar at the beginning of her show !

I saw her severals times and i felt in love with all musiciens and some people close to her ! When i read some reports about her tours with all the band i feel bad because i dream to rejoin them and follow them during one year on the roads ! Since for a long time i dream to make a connection with them personally, to spent time, to live with them, see how the music is a great part of their artists lives. I love Artists and don't ask me why i have choiced Joan and her band ! I suppose and i believe about a love at first sight ! ! ! I decided to learn guitar and since 6 years i learn Joan Baez's songs ! When i hear Carol Steele to play, each time i said : « OK ! now i want to learn drums too :-D ! ! ! ! ». I love to learn by heart some beautiful songs and spent good time with all Joan's cds ! I don't know really which album is the best ! Each day i listen to a different one and i love them all. Recently i listen to for the first time a beautiful song with Joan and Mimi « Bread and Roses » and i was moved to hear them sing together a cappella !

I would like to say to Joan, Carole, Adam, Mark, Joshua, Crook, Jerry ! Merci beaucoup, thank you very much, gracias... ! (and i've keep a little place in my heart for Mimi). I love you all, je vous aime tous beaucoup !

Bye and love Nadine
