I got my first Baez album in '62 but only saw her live for the first time about 18 months ago here in Glasgow, Scotland. The voice has naturally deteriorated with time but she was still pretty good. A member of the audience requested the "Four Mary's" (because of the line "as I rode into Glasgow town") and although she hadn't planned to do it she sang that long, intricate ballad word perfect. I was impressed by that. He mother (whom I believe is originally from Edinburgh) was in the audience and must have been very proud of her "lassie". I have many happy memories of Joan's SINGING !
