I wanna be a folk singer from the 1960’s! Pleeeeease??
I’ve always wanted to be like Joan Baez. I read her autobiography once. When she was in college she had long hair and never wore shoes, even in the winter. She and her roommate would play guitar and sing together. Then she started playing and singing in cafes, and then she became famous! Then she met Bob Dylan and they fell in love and he tagged along at her concerts and then he became famous too! Why were the 60’s so magical like that?
I love her voice and I like to sing along with her music. It’s at just the right pitch for me to sing.
Others I love (60’s and 70’s):
Bob Dylan
Pete Seeger
Arlo Guthrie
Peter, Paul, and Mary
Richard and Mimi
Joni Mitchell
Simon & Garfunkel
Neil Young (Crosby, Stills & Nash, too)
James Taylor
Cat Stevens
I love good folk music, too. My current favorites are:
Alexi Murdoch
Nick Drake
Ray LaMontagne
Cat Stevens always reminds me of the Shannons – especially Thora and you. Thora because for some reason I think she likes Mr. Stevens alot and you because of Harold and Maude.
I think you would be an excellent ’60s folk singer, you have enough style and hair alone.
