It's 10 years ago that Joan Baez released Gone From Danger,
an album of songs by her
favourite writers. There's now an anniversary 2-disc re-release, made
special because of the bonus live CD on which she sings the setlist
onstage
joined by them all, including Dar Williams, Sinead Lohan, Betty Elders
and Richard Shindell. Dar's three songs – If I Wrote You,
February and You’re Aging Well – are delights, especially the latter
during which the two singers interweave their distinctive vocals. It's
available in the regular places online and off!!

Sorry for the long delay in updates. Was on vacation and then battling
some nasty bug. Finally got some time and energy to update today. Saw
Dar a week or so ago for the first full-length concert I've seen in

jetlagged!!

A whole load of dates in California with Melissa Ferrick
