I admire Joan’s position against war and her work toward peace.
I’ve always loved everything about her and her beautiful music, for the past 50 years, all the way back to “Siler Dagger”. I would give alot to be able to meet her just once.
Fourteen wonderful outtakes. Wonderful footage. Lovely conversations. It’s more than great that PBS did an American Masters documentary on Joan Baez. Truly the world do not know what it ows her. She is a treasure. I feel blessed to walk this earth at the same time as this amazing, intelligent person. Thanks to PBS for making the film.
I missed th American Masters program. When will lit be re-run? I do not get station #709.I want to buy the DVD for the program onOct. 14th. May I have a phone number? Thanks Bettye Stratton
I have admired Joan for the past 40 years. How fortunate we have been to have her in our lives. Her politics and music has benefitted many people. I saw her in concert three times and enjoy her words as well as her music.
I lived in Fresno, Ca. from the mid-60’s thru the 70’s and was fortunate to see Joan in concert several times. I have so many of her albums–vinyl, cassette, CD–and listen often. I feel her two-record set of Bob D.’s music is superior to anyone else interpreting his music. I have submitted her name to Lincoln Center Honor Awards. She is deserving.
Just saw the pbs special on Joan: Absolutely, absolutely, absolutely stunning, beautiful – totally inspiring. I remembered her from her singing – not so aware of her great political stands and positions and activities. What a great spirit, great courageous person!
Thank you American Masters & PBS.
Joan was able to sing the old folk songs with such an incredible pure sweet strong voice and it is just such a pleasure to listen to her.I wish more people in this world shared her non-violent views and distaste for war and hatred.
