Joan Baez

[smurfboy]

I'm going to see her in concert in October!  Woohoo! At the Albert Hall, no less.

Not a particularly relevant thread I know, but everyone else I've told has said 'who?' Philistines.

[paulham]

Did that cost a few bob, Smurfy?
Incidentally she is without peer as a cellist

Joan Baez has the most wonderful voice. I saw her 24 years ago at the Glastonbury Festival. I've always loved her music. I hope you enjoy yourself Smufy. i must say, for a young'un, you have excellent taste. Didn't you also see Barbara Streisand?

[loulou]

Joan Baez ? Who?

[smurfboy]

I did indeed go and see Barbra Streisand, which cost me an absolute fortune, but was worth every penny. Joanie is a very reasonable £32 a ticket. I'm taking my Dad as a Father's Day pressie as he's had a bad time healthwise lately.

[loulou]

I still don't know who she is but it's a nice pressie .

[wjp666]

i thought she was dead.

[oldspice]

Lou, are you serious? I thought you were joking when you said you didn't know who she was. Surely you've heard her beautiful songs 'We shall Overcome' and 'There but for Fortune'.  She was once a lover of Bob Dylan and recorded a lot of his songs. It was for him she wrote the song 'Diamonds and Rust'.

[loulou]

I'll go and google her.

[goldencup]

I've never heard of her either, or those songs.

[loulou]

GC go watch her on you tube.  I did and I still don't know her.

[oldspice]

Oh dear. I'm just an old, old hippy.  

[smurfboy]

You just have taste Oldspice 

[loulou]

Everyone has taste. 

[smurfboy]

Of course they do - it's just some people have good taste, some bad.
