I've been a great admirer of Joan and her work ever since about 1960 or thereabouts. Still admire her to this day.

It's easy to be "approved" as a member of this forum. Just sign up.

My parents bought Joan's first album when I was about 12 years old, and I became an instant fan. As far as I was concerned, she was the perfect folksinger in just about every way imaginable.

If people snipe at Joan or pick on her, I think it's mainly because they just have a pretty need to pick on somebody rather than it having anything much to do with Joan Baez.
