Conversation: Joan Baez

Last night on PBS's "American Masters":http://www.pbs.org/wnet/americanmasters/, viewers got an intimate portrait of one of America's most famous singers. "Joan Baez":http://www.joanbaez.com/ began performing with her guitar in coffee shops at just 17, but went on to help define the sound and social momentum of the 1960s with her politically-charged folk songs. She's still performing, right now on tour in England, and she talked to us by phone about her life and her music earlier today.   **Watch the full episode of American Masters' "How Sweet the Sound":** **The DVD and soundtrack is also available at** "PBS.org.":http://www.shoppbs.org/search/index.jsp?kwCatId=&kw=joan%20baez&origkw=joan%20baez&sr=1
