Great article here.

What a voice she had. I got to see her in Charlottesville a few years back, what a person, what fire!

She was my first guitar hero, I was fascinated by her Carter scratch and finger picking on those early Vanguard albums (I still have the ones my Dad brought home so long ago) instilled a life long love of those old ballads and old timey American songs in me. That woman deserves any honors this country can give her.

thanks for the link to that article. I think it overstates Joan Baez' retreat from singing and playing. She did some nice lockdown recordings in 2020, at the age of 79.
Here is an example:

It was her Indigo Girls tour that came through Charlottesville. What an admirable human being.

Glad you liked the article.
