Thank you, sonhouse, I actually thought the song was about a lost child, she seems so sad.

Nina Simone, "Mississippi Goddam"

Nina is a piano prodigy denied entrance to Julliard because of the color of her skin:

Next song after that is 'Ain't got no life''

hold your head up - argent

Upbeat, competent, powerful message. I think it is an anthem.

A great guitarist from Iran, Lily Afshar, playing 'lily's medley'

As a student she played for Andre Segovia, now professor of guitar at Memphis University in the US.

Her arrangment of Persian music. Sounds almost like Peruvian music.

Tommy Makem and Paddy Clancey,

Leave her Johnny Leave Her

Found a rare one: Joan Baez and her sister Mimi Farina singing Richard Farina's 'The Swallows song:

There are damned few recordings of Joan and Mimi together, now too late, Mimi RIP and Richard also RIP.

Here they are singing Lonesome in the morning, I think Mimi on guiar

Richard Farina and Mimi on Pete seegers TV show, Rainbow Quest, Feb 26 1966, 2 months before Richard was killed on a motorcyle, on Mimi's 21st birthday.

Behold the Bold Marauder

On the same program, Richard and Mimi sings his signature song, Pack up your sorrows

It's interesting, Pete never heard it and Richard asked him to play along🙂

Richard and Mimi, Joy around my brain, same show:

Nice performance, happy tune!
