Here's a 1970s-model CIA-Foan Faez belting out a pro-slavery, pro-confederacy ditty, originally from the rightwing Southern white group "Lynard Skynard." The voice here is quite far from the original Joan Baez pre-1966; lower and more limited range, less vibrato, substitutes force and volume for vocal control skills. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnS9M03F-fA&feature=relatedShe's sorta nasty toward the audience with her spoken remarks!

A Los Angeles Superior Court jury returned the verdict Monday after an estimated 29 to 30 hours of deliberations. The 40-year-old Clarkson, star of the 1985 cult film "Barbarian Queen," died of a gunshot fired in her mouth as she sat in the foyer of Spector's mansion in 2003. She had met Spector hours earlier at her job as a nightclub hostess. Prosecutors argued Spector had a history of threatening women with guns when they tried to leave. The defense claimed she killed herself. It was Spector's second trial. His first jury deadlocked 10-2, favoring conviction in 2007. THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below. LOS ANGELES (AP) — The jury in Phil Spector's murder retrial has signaled it has reached a verdict. The Los Angeles Superior Court jury buzzed the courtroom three times at late morning Monday.

I saw Joan perform back in the 1960s. She had an incredible voice. She could sing a-capella and blow the audience right out the back of their heads. The current "Joan" is a very poor imitation. Pauline Baez, the Missing Baez sister who is supposed to have co-written songs, such as "Pack Up Your Sorrows" performed by Richard Farina and Mimi Baez: crawdaddy.wolfgangsvault.com/uploadedImages/Wolfgangs_Vault/Crawdaddy!/Copy/Articles/Issue_123/Rock-Art-Rock.jpg Almost no pictures of Pauline Baez! Another one of Pauline: Could Pauline Baez have served as a double for Joan Baez and/or Mimi Baez? Pauline Baez Marden (b. October 4, 1939) Pauline co-wrote "Pack Up Your Sorrows" with Richard, which proved to be the Fari�as' most famous song. Pauline and Richard also co-wrote a song called "A Song for Some of Us," which was never released. With Nina Dusheck she co-wrote the song, "If I Knew," and with Joan Baez she co-wrote "Tears In My Eyes," which appears on the album Very Early Joan. A picture in the book Judy Collins by Vivian Claire shows Pauline playing autoharp at the 1967 Big Sur Folk Festival. There is also a photo of her performing with Richard and Mimi in Massachusetts in 1965 on John Cooke's website. Joan Baez Senior. (b. April 11, 1913) Richard and his mother-in-law, Joan Baez Sr., collaborated on the LP, Alice in Wonderland, part of the Tale Spinners for Children series for which Richard wrote scripts while he was living in Paris. Richard played the voice of the White Rabbit, and Joan Senior played the parts of the mouse and the Queen of Hearts. For more info on Mrs. Baez, see Meet the Parents. What's the deal with Carolyn Hester? Carolyn Hester (b. January 28, 1937) Hester had a successful career as a folk singer even before Joan Baez, having recorded an album, Scarlet Ribbons, in 1959. She played occasionally with Richard during the two years that they were married. It was Carolyn, along with Jean Ritchie, who taught Richard how to play the dulcimer, and Richard may have picked up some of his repertoire from her. Carolyn and Richard performed together at the Edinburgh Folk Festival, part of which was broadcast on BBC-TV in Great Britain, and with Rory and Alex McEwen they recorded an EP, Four For Fun, which was released only in Scotland. Carolyn continues to perform and record today. Her album, From These Hills, included a cover of "Pack Up Your Sorrows." For more information on Carolyn, see the article, "That's My Song," by John Tobler, in Folk Roots, October, 1993, p. 22-23, 25-26, and "Thirty Years of Folk Music," by William Ruhlmann, in Goldmine, January 26, 1990, and visit her website at www.carolynhester.com

The nose looks a little different too.

Albert Baez From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search
Albert Vinicio Baez, Ph.D. (November 15, 1912[1], – March 20, 2007[2]) was a prominent Mexican-American physicist, and the father of singer Joan Baez. He was born in Puebla, Mexico, and his family moved to the United States when he was two years old because his father was a Methodist minister. Baez grew up in Brooklyn and considered becoming a minister before turning to mathematics and physics.
Contents [hide] 1 Early life 2 Academic life 3 Retirement 4 Sources 5 References
[edit] Early life Baez earned his bachelor's degree in mathematics from Drew University in 1933 and then a master's degree in physics from Syracuse University in 1935. In 1936, he married Joan Chandos Bridge, the daughter of an Episcopalian minister. The couple became Quakers and had three daughters, Pauline, Joan and Mimi. Together they moved to California, where he pursued a doctorate in physics. In 1948, along with Stanford University professor Paul Kirkpatrick (1894–1992), Baez developed the X-ray reflection microscope for examination of living cells. This microscope is still used today in medicine. Baez received his PhD in physics from Stanford in 1950. After graduating, he developed zone plates—concentric circles of alternating opaque and transparent materials to use diffraction instead of refraction to focus X-rays. Unfortunately, much of his work had to await the development of synchrotron X-rays sources several decades later.
[edit] Academic life
As the Cold War arose in the 1950s, Baez's talents were in high demand for the developing arms race. However, influenced by his family's pacifist beliefs, he refused lucrative war industry jobs, preferring instead to devote his career to education and humanitarianism. From 1950 to 1956, he held a professorship at the University of Redlands, where he continued his X-ray research. Baez took a yearlong [CIA AGENT] leave to work with UNESCO in 1951, stationing his family in Baghdad to establish the physics department and laboratory at Baghdad University. In 1959, Baez accepted a faculty position at MIT, and moved his family to the Boston area. In 1960, working with the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory in Cambridge, MA, he developed optics for an X-ray telescope. Later that year he moved to the faculty of Harvey Mudd College, and moved his family to Claremont, California. From 1961 to 1967, he directed science teaching for UNESCO in Paris.
Baez was the author of the textbook The New College Physics: A Spiral Approach (1967). He was also the co-author of the textbook The Environment and Science and Technology Education (1987) and the memoir A Year in Baghdad (1988). Baez was not limited to print media though, making almost 100 films about physics for the Encyclopædia Britannica Educational Corp from 1967 to 1974. Baez also chaired the Commission on Education of the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources from 1979 to 1983.
[edit] Retirement
After his retirement, Baez occasionally delivered physics lectures and was president of [CIA FRONT] Vivamos Mejor/USA, an organization founded in 1988 to help impoverished villages in Mexico. Its projects include preschool education, environmental projects, and community and educational activities. In 1991, the International Society for Optical Engineering awarded him and Kirkpatrick the Dennis Gabor Award for pioneering contributions to the development of X-ray imaging microscopes and X-ray imaging telescopes. In 1995, the Hispanic Engineer National Achievement Awards Corporation (HENAAC) established the Albert V. Baez Award for Technical Excellence and Service to Humanity. Baez himself was inducted into the HENAAC Hall of Fame in 1998.
Baez was the father of folk singers Joan Baez and Mimi Fariña, and Pauline Bryan; he also was the uncle of mathematical physicist John Baez. He had three grandchildren and one great-granddaughter. He died of natural causes March 20, 2007 at age 94 in the Redwood City care home where he had lived for the prior three years.
