Music is such a big part of my life, can't work without it, don't enjoy reading without it in the background.. Mind you, I don't actually play anything - my brief dalliance with actually contributing to the world's musical canon ended rather disastrously with my guitar being stolen as I overslept ;) Anyways, to stretch the sport as mistress

Hats off to her, many times over - in fact, i think you've got to hand it to her.

Nicely put.. :-) And, yes I agree with you, she's one my musical heroes..

Dude, if you enjoy folk music and more specifically a female folk vocalist , do lend your ear to Fairport Convention - a Brit folk rock band with the amazing Sandy Denny's dulcet rendering of their fine songs

[oldhen]

Thanks for the tip, haven't heard them before, will definitely check them out, any particular record you reccomend?

[anonymous]

Unhalfbricking, Liege and Lief are two famous albums. The history of Fairport Convention is a good chronological compilation.

Thanks! I heard a couple of their songs and liked their sound a lot, so will definitely look out for those albums..

Diamonds and Rust is another beautiful song, recounting her relationship with Dylan.. I really admire her for her politics though, perhaps 'cause right now I can really relate to those sentiments..

Re: baez humming in my head

[shaluvk]

yes, i do adore that song- with or without her political convictions ;-) dylan??! and here i thought she was in love with lennon and even had a kid with him. i'm foggy though. its been years...
