    I remember buying this album when I was young and attending college. Both myself and my little boy, Charlie , listened to that album for hours and hours and he would ask me to sing for him. You see, he wouldn't go to sleep unless I sang to him, so of course I did. He has passed away now but this is one of my wonderful memories with him. I will always love you, Charlie. I will never let you go from my heart nor my soul.

      I have been listening to Joan since the 1960s' and still in awe of her voice.Just amazing that a person can sing the way she sings. I took up guitar at about 16 after listening to Joan Baez. Unfortunately I never could sing very well. I heard Joan and was hooked for life. Can you imagine being born with a voice like Joan? She probably had a sense very early on that she had this gift even before she started singing professionally..

    "Well I'll be damned
    Here comes your ghost again
    But that's not unusual
    It's just that the moon is full
    And you happened to call
    And here I sit
    Hand on the telephone
    Hearing a voice I'd known
    A couple of light years ago
    Heading straight for a fall
    As I remember your eyes
    Were bluer than robin's eggs
    My poetry was lousy you said
    Where are you calling from?
    A booth in the midwest
    Ten years ago
    I bought you some cufflinks
    You brought me something
    We both know what memories can bring
    They bring diamonds and rust
    Well you burst on the scene
    Already a legend
    The unwashed phenomenon
    The original vagabond
    You strayed into my arms
    And there you stayed
    Temporarily lost at sea
    The Madonna was yours for free
    Yes the girl on the half-shell
    Could keep you unharmed
    Now I see you standing
    With brown leaves falling all around
    And snow in your hair
    Now you're smiling out the window
    Of that crummy hotel
    Over Washington Square
    Our breath comes out white clouds
    Mingles and hangs in the air
    Speaking strictly for me
    We both could have died then and there
    Now you're telling me
    You're not nostalgic
    Then give me another word for it
    You who are so good with words
    And at keeping things vague
    'Cause I need some of that vagueness now
    It's all come back too clearly
    Yes I loved you dearly
    And if you're offering me diamonds and rust
    I've already paid"
    Songwriters: Joan Baez

      I saw her in the 60s and have seen her quite a few times down the years - the last time on her farewell tour a couple of years ago. I have never seen her less than captivating. Of course she can't now do the high stuff in quite the same way - she was nearly 80 on that tour - but in a subtly refined way old Joan is as good as young Joan. She is such an intelligent singer and knows just how to modify the songs to suit her voice - at times even improving them. Even at the age of 78 she did the whole evening by herself, playing the guitar throughout. She seems immortal.

Many attribute his lack of empathy to his childhood, but while most people didn't have it easy when young they still grew up to be kind and loving spouses. Both Joan and Dylan's first wife describe him as a ghost. Fellow performers describe him as friendly but never as a friend. Wonderful music from a strange and lonesome man in his own world.

    I first heard this song in 1979 in Casablanca, Morocco. At this point in my life, I was a senior in high school in a small podunk town about 200 miles away from Casablanca. Besides my love for Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, and Cat Stevens, Long-Distance Running was my life. In school, my favorite class was English, and after three years of immersing myself in the language, I was somewhat good at understanding spoken English. I was a kid who did not get allowance money, or have a job but managed to save for important needs, and on this particular time, I desperately needed some good running shoes for competing, however, the clothing shops in the small town where I lived had only "Saroukh Brand", a generic plastic sneakers that stunk the minute you put them on. Not finding the right pair of competition-level shoes, I grabbed the meager savings I had and took the overnight train in the "Quatrième Classe" (the lowest economic class in the rear car of the train, with the chickens and goats) to the big city. After a few inquiries on where to find good running shoes in the largest city in Morocco, I was led to Souk Smat, a flea market of a sort in the old Medina of Casablanca. Zigzagging between the droves of people from one stall to the next, I finally hit the jackpot of the everything-abroad shop as if I stumbled on heaven. This shop specializes in imported black-market items from the US and Europe. There was running gear just like what the Track and Field stars (Lasse Viren, Frank Shorter, Henry Rono, to name a few who adorned my room walls) wore, all kinds of Levis Blue Jeans, hip sunglasses, some second-hand stuff as well, etc, in short, the coolest stuff ever for an insignificant kid from a Middle-of-Nowhere town. As I was haggling with the shopkeeper over these incredible Nike sneakers, I saw a Joan Baez album that I had never seen before with Baez in her iconic straw hat picture facing me in the corner of the tiny shop. My focus immediately shifted to "The Best Of Joan C. Baez" vinyl album, I asked the seemingly annoyed shopkeeper to play a couple of songs from the album for me before I bought it. From the minute the first song (Diamonds And Rust) started playing, I just lost it, and by the time "Prison Trilogy" song hit, I was sobbing in a trance-like fashion, not worrying about the gathered mesmerized crowd surrounding me or the shopkeeper. I will never forget that shop or that moment, it was like a freight train of emotions hit me at a vulnerable time with the most sincere words and music that only The Queen of Folk in her prime could create. I skipped the much-needed shoes, gave the shopkeeper all the money I had, and lingered on an empty stomach for hours (with my new-found treasure underarm) in the fascinating boulevards of Casablanca until the past-midnight train ride, so I could easily bunk the train for nearly 200 miles by getting off the train at almost every town and village and getting back on the last train car that the ticket inspector had just visited. Years later I eventually immigrated to the USA, officially named myself Dylan after his Bobness, and had a great family. I saw Bob Dylan, and Joan Baez many times in concerts, and my innocent youth promise, decades ago, was to meet Bob Dylan and Joan Baez in person. After many crazy attempts, I doubt that I will ever fulfill that dream of meeting Bob, but on the contrary, I have met Joan Baez in person twice; once backstage at a concert in Denver where I sang "Jari Ya Hamouda" with her, and once one evening on August 2, 1996, in the woods of Poudre Canyon in the Rocky Mountains near a small motel where she was staying during a very small outdoor concert at the Mishawaka Amphitheatre in Bellvue, Colorado. When we lived in Colorado Springs, My French friend Fabien LOEWENGUTH, who is also a big fan of Joan Baez, and I took the 4-hour drive with much anticipation to see Joan Baez, and after getting lost for a bit, we eventually made it in the nick of time, that concert was very low-key and just outstanding, especially being in the middle of the mountains, there were not many people, which made it fantastic for all the attendees and very intimate being very close to Joan Baez. I do not remember the songs she played, but the set was dreamy with a few songs from the Play Me Backwards album, I believe. Mid-concert, it started raining lightly and despite that, Joan insisted on playing until "it starts sparking" she said. Sure enough, the thunderous rain started sparking the electric cables, at which point the concert came to a frantic halt and everyone scattered for safety. Joan and the band ran uphill to the motel where they were staying, but the hardcore devotees huddled around hoping for a sign from Joan, however after an hour or so of relentless rain everyone left. Fabien kept insisting that we should also leave especially after the innkeeper kept pestering us and that we still had 4 hours of driving back home in severe weather conditions. I had brought a couple of Baez's books and about 40 or so sleeves from my collection of Joan Baez's official and non-official bootleg CDs with me just in case and refused to leave without at least having her autograph them. A few minutes passed when the innkeeper burst from the gate threatening to call the sheriff's office if we didn't leave immediately, I was in dismay, then sprung and lied to him that I flew in from Morocco and was not leaving unless he took Joan Baez's books and CD jackets to her, he agreed to do so, and I pulled my pen and wrote "you mean so much to the oppressed and the politically persecuted people of Morocco" and signed it "dylan" on the cover of the album that contains "Natalya Gorbanevskaya", a song about a Russian dissident who later became a close friend to Joan (I can't remember the album's title now). A long time went by and the rain had stopped, I thought, what a big mistake I made! I will never see my collection back. To my surprise, not only did I get everything back, but Joan Baez in all of her Majesty, brought them back with all humility, barefoot in a blue jeans shirt and shorts, and above all with the hugest welcoming smile that I have ever seen on Joan Baez. I was about to faint when she asked "Who is this Dylan?" Very funny I thought (Tears are rolling down my cheeks as I am typing this now). Among the things I sent with the innkeeper was a photograph of me and Joan Baez from my backstage visit with her the year prior that my wife took, so she mentioned that she remembered me well and my great singing, I told her that I had two choices to name myself, either Dylan or Gandhi, and that my wife preferred Dylan, and also that if I were a woman, I would have named myself Joan or Baez, and with a smirk, she thought that I should have gone with Gandhi. My friend Fabien joined us, and we took pictures and talked for what seemed an eternity about everything that mattered. She asked about my connection with Gandhi, about the Human Rights situation in Morocco, and was genuinely interested in us more than just as fans. It started to sprinkle again and was getting dark by now, we gave each other hugs and left, me with joy, disbelief, and part of my heart torn then and there. That was an experience of a lifetime, that only confirms my belief in Joan Baez as an incredible human being. Some months later, Joan Baez went to sing in Morocco for the first time, and I am convinced it was because of that encounter. My friends in Morocco don't believe that I had anything to do with it, of course not I assure them! Love to you Joan, and may you stay forever young.
