Happy 84th birthday to the lovely Joan Baez, one of the greatest musicians and songwriters of all time, and a wonderful activist for the civil rights and anti war movement.

Song of the day

do you want to know the history of a folk song? submit an ask or dm me and I'll cover it

"The Falcon" Mimi & Richard Fariña, 1965

originally based on a traditional English folk song "The Cuckoo Bird", first published between 1780-1812 in London,

later captured by alan lomax in 1942

Mimi & Richard changed the traditional folk song to a hauntingly beautiful anti-war song, describing the predatory nature of fascism and the falcons longing for peace and whimsy.

Song #79

Time to share this song again! I posted it when I started this blog, because it's where the title comes from, but not as the 'song of the day' yet. It still lives rent free in my head at least once a week, even when I don't listen to it.

"Come wander quietly and listen to the wind

Come near and listen to the sky

Come walking high above the rolling of the sea

And watch the swallows as they fly

There is no sorrow like the murmur of their wings

There is no choir like their song

There is no power like the freedom of their flight

While the swallows roam alone"

In a totally uncomplicated way I love Joan Baez and her late sister, Mimi Fariña. I just read Joan's interview with The Chronicle about her new book....got me to thinking to post a small tribute to Joan and Mimi. Here's part 1.
