Joan Baez calls it quits
mainOr so the versatile singer, 76, tells the San Francisco Chronicle.
Not sure if I believe it. At least, I hope it’s not so.
I once asked her about Handel oratorios, which she knew extensively from singing them in church as a girl.
I was all set to fix a meeting with classical record executives when … something else cropped up.
She’s a wonderful singer and I hope she soon repents of retirement talk.
And a good person.
And long over the hill and irrelevant. So retirement is only logical.
How long ago did you retire? I remember your “Shining with Wit” album very well and regret I didn’t keep it.
Yes, and I regret that I ever asked for Ungeheuer’s autograph. Although he’s certainly talented beyond measure.
Nah, he’s unfettered by the slavery of talent.
Somehow I have a feeling Ms. Baez will sleep well tonight, despite your nastiness. One of you will be remembered fondly for a very long time.
“One of you will be remembered fondly for a very long time.”

Reminds me of a classic Henny Youngman putdown: He fancies himself a wit. He’s half right 🙂
Although we may not quite agree on our Politics, I agree with me in your ability to reach the heart, with Song. May you never completely Retire, until you cannot strum, or sing your song; and, may you be a Sister in Jesus, so, in Heaven, we can Harmonize, Eternity – Long.
You are Blessed with Singing. May we both now, be Blessed with Winging, HOME, for Eternity, SOON, in the Rapture/Balloon. AMEN
