Aaaaaah! Joan Baez. What a beautiful singer - saw her recently in Manchester (UK) and was not dissapointed. She's still as beautiful as ever.

She was one of the reasons I love folk music as much as I do. I remember listening to the stories in her songs as a child and crying to Geordie, Lady Mary, Mary Hamilton (among others)......

'Last night there were four Marys
Tonight there'll be but three
There was Mary Beaton and Mary Seeton
And Mary Carmichael and me

or Geordie 'The judge looked over his left shoulder
He said 'fair maid I'm sorry'
He said 'fair maid, you must be gone
For I cannot pardon Geordie'

Sob sob, boo hoo
