I've known Joan for a long time now, casually, and she is a nice person and deserves to have our sympathy. She's a helluva lot nicer than other folkies I know.

I think she still sounds great and I enjoy her work.

As for casting judgement about sleeping in a tree platform, we all make some
dumb errors in our life. I think she probably had a good reason for being there.

For a while she was a friend of Julia Butterfly.
