Thread Name: Joan Baez 2011 and 1961
Subject: RE: Joan Baez 2011 and 1961
When I was a student (more years ago than I now care to think), I was in love with the purity and clarity of Joan's voice, and - as has been said further up - her restrained, tasteful guitar playing.

I still have a couple of her songs in my repertoire ( but the high notes are getting more and more difficult these days...).

The story about the inscription inside her Martin is apparently true and according to the publicity it is repeated inside all of the replicas that are now on sale. A worthy ambition, to own one - not that I'd want one myself, you understand, the HD-28 is my dream, but a good axe, nevertheless.
