Well, let's see. I read the Hajdu book. I have had Mimi and Richard's vinyl since the 60's, and CD copies since the ??'s. I guess if there is anything Bob Dylan has told us over the years, it's to take him with a grain of salt, at least personally. I really enjoyed the book, and am not letting it stand in the way of enjoying the music of any of these folks, though I have always preferred Mimi to Joan on record. Joan in person, however, is a spectacular voice. Bob, too. Sorry to say I never saw either Farina live. Their records and songs have a real charm for me. I confess to not listening to them for many years. But one night on a road trip in Michigan, I found the reissue best of CD in a bookstore and listened to it with a bottle of brandy. I ended up bawling my eyes out. What great stuff (the music that is). I still listen to it fairly often, especially since I no longer drink. It's better than ever.
