DIAMONDS AND RUST BY JOAN BAEZ

Folk singer Joan Baez blew me away at the Seattle World's Fair in 1964.  Up until then, my musical exposure had been the Christy Minstrels and the Four Freshman.  

Some of my friends took up the guitar, but I knew better as my failure with and hatred for the violin helped me keep my senses.

So, from my interest in Joan, I was exposed to Dylan, her boyfriend at the time, the subject of the song below, "Diamonds and Rust."

When I first met Nena in 1966, I noted a resemblance to Baez in looks and sassiness.
