Judy Collins


Last evening. Jimmy Webb opened great songwriter not a great singer. Judy at 71 or so can still amaze with the voice of a generation. Talked about being at Albert grossman's house in Woodstock for a party young bob was there and in the middle of the night she heard sounds from a room in the basement and got up to investigate and she heard him composing mr tambourine man. Chilling. Then of course she sang it. Her latest disc bohemian I think is the title is just great.

FTC do you mean roger Payne? She sang campo as well. Would love to hear farewell live but did hear Mariieka a few years back in NYC.
Dtk, I was asking if it was Roger Payne who recored the humpback whale sounds/songs. I though it was he who did that, I have to LPs of his recordings (Songs of The Humpback Whales and a follow-up).
Dtk, do you know her version of The Coming of The Roads? I put that LP on and somehow cannot get past that track, one of the best, looking forward, someday, to hearing it live. Lets hope. Just got a ticket for her again in April.
Ghosthouse, if by contemporaries you mean approximately 60 years of age with 45 or more years of loving music, I agree.
