Thread Name: Thank God for Joan Baez!
Subject: RE: Thank God for Joan Baez!
Well, actually, I think Ani DiFranco's "To the Teeth" is one of the best protest songs of our time, and I am trying to learn it right now. Not real melodic, but definitely in line with Joan Baez' passion for using music to try and address social and political needs.

And, while I learned every single one of her songs at one time, and can still sing many of them, I always did wish she'd support her voice with a little more diaphragm so she brought a little more womanly oomph to the tunes. But then, when I sang them, I did. For what it was worth. The world does not no, nor will long remember WyoWoman, but that Joan, now she da' bomb ...
