Thread Name: Joan Baez fall from treehouse-how is she?
Subject: RE: BS: Joan Baez falls
Party after her concert at the new Seattle Center Opera House (capacity 3,100 people, filled) during the World's Fair in 1962. Had a chance to talk with her quite a bit.

Ran into her (almost literally) on the stairs at the 1964 Berkeley Folk Festival. Darned if she didn't remember me, and we stood there and chatted for awhile.

Don't feel too left out, Kendall. When Joan started her School of Non-Violence, a friend of mine thought he'd do her a favor and wrote "The Joan Baez School of Non-Violence Fight Song."

Never did hear back from her. . . .
