Joan came to my high school when she was around 15. She inspired me by her performance to get busy. I was 16. I had a wonderful voice, but didn't play any instruments. So I took up guitar and for 51 years I have been running family singing groups teaching traditional folk songs. I am still doing that at 83. She is an inspiration. I'm glad she is using her lower register because she is a very expressive singer/story teller. She plays exceptionally well too. I am also making peace with my lower voice. It happens to all of us,.

Her beautiful guitar playing and the feeling she interjected into her songs made every word and story come to life for me.

A fan since the 60s voice in so many ways for decades. She contributed so much to important protest issues. Lead and inspired.

You are my bucket list. I’ve listened to you since I was in my teens and I’m 66. Thank you. I’m a musician and a folk singer and you are my inspiration in song.

Bravo Joan for speaking out. I worked with adults who were assaulted as kids. Above my desk were the the words. “I’m only as sick as my secrets”.

Back in the '80s, Joan persuaded me to hire a young friend of hers as an assistant and we corresponded for the whole summer. Her letters were very funny and illustrated with marvelous stick figures. I still have them somewhere. I am several years older and have always loved her wonderful singing voice.

So many women and girls live the nightmare of having been molested, which stays with you throughout life. "They" DO remember what they did and that's what so sad. As artists we have to walk the fine line in order to continue - meaning make your world for yourself because no one is going to do that for the survivor. Folks on here saying don't speak about the dead - in our cases, that is our first chance for free speech from what has occurred in our families, and to free ourselves from that life-long, ever binding secret where they would have pinned us as the 'wrong-doer.'

Good to see this and that she seems to be doing well. Years ago, I was blown away by her performance at Woodstock!!!
