I want to be like Joan Baez -- talented and beautiful, gracious and humorous, along with that exceptional ability -- like a fine Cabernet -- to get better with maturity!

Last night's concert at the Santa Barbara Bowl was outstanding and wonderfully complemented by the Indigo Girls.
Most especially, it was terrific because I shared it with dear friends Joan and Jim whose son, Dirk, plays in Joan's band and is a virtuoso in his own right!
