Joan Baez was in town this week (he said, casually) and she told a little anecdote...at one point King was asleep at campaign headquarters, and none of the SNCC people wanted to be the one to wake him up. They volunteered Joan, and she went in and sang a song. He murmured something about an angel singing and rolled over. Turns out she does an interesting MLK impersonation.

she was a favorite of mine... living in the Bay Area i saw her a couple of times in the grocery store; long time ago now...
I have a couple of Baez's CD's and I like her stuff. Its on the edge of my taste but I still listen to her from time to time.
