Mimi could definitely sing, though not with that classical purity that Joan had (and I know that while some people love it, some others can't stand it). I saw Mimi once in Toronto, and she sang very well indeed.

The fact is, they could all sing pretty darned well...Mimi, Joan, Richard Farina, and Bob Dylan too...it just depends on whether you like their style or not.

Richard seemed like a very likeable guy...and very talented...it's too bad that he died so young. Bob was the one most people back then expected would come to an early end, but he's proven to have more staying power than any of them would have guessed...still touring regularly after all these years.
