Hard for so many, especially those of us who grew up listening to her music, to realize that Joan Baez turned 80, yesterday. She may not look like this anymore, but she does look wonderful for her age, her voice is in amazing shape, and she still gets out there, and performs.
I never saw Joan in concert, but as long as she is out there, I feel there is still a chance.
Joan Baez, at 80! Talk about making us Baby Boomers feel older than we actually are!!!!!!!!!!!!! If youth does not last, artistry does!
So, let's wish Joan a belated Happy 80th birthday!
Of course I have to close, with one of her favorites. Listen to her, on the haunting guitar melody, and poignant delivery of the Child Ballad, "House Carpenter."
Happy Birthday, Joan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love her!
