Re: Joan Baez singing at Camp Casey



It is lovely, although perhaps a bit sad because time has begun to catch up
with the voice, and it seems a bit frail in terms of support. She had, at
her best (and her best was the best for a long time, imho) the greatest
"untrained" voice before the public, and although never a "dramatic" singer,
she has always been direct, respectful of her material, and completely
affecting, at least to me. Although I disapprove of a lot of what she did
politically, she had tremendous integrity, I think, and I will always be a
big fan of hers.
