THOSE TWO CRAZY BROADS ARE SISTERS, AND BOY, CAN THEY SING, ASK PAULETTE (QUOTH ME, IN THE 60'S)


JOAN BAEZ & MIMI FARINA "Amazing Grace" (OK, I HATE PEOPLE WHO TROLL AND I REFUSE TO DO IT: I USED TO LIVE ACROSS NAPIER LANE, A BOARDWALK PASSING FOR A STREET, ON TELEGRAPH HILL, FROM MIMI AND DICK, THEN DICK HAD THAT AWFUL ACCIDENT
JUST BEFORE THAT I LIVED ON DARRELL PLACE, JUST OFF FILBERT, AT BILL GRAHAM'S EX-APARTMENT, A 50'S DUPLEX WITH SPARKLY WALLS,
TO GET DOWNSTAIRS TO HIS 'PRIVATE QUARTERS' AND OFFICE, YOU HAD TO KNOW WHERE EXACTLY THE STAIRS WERE, THEY WERE CLEVERLY DISGUISED AS A TROMPE L'OEIL POOL, COMPLETE WITH A WATERFALL
MY LANDLORDS WERE BOTH GESTALT SHRINKS I USED TO SEE (AN OLD HABIT FROM GROWING UP IN THE 50'S WAS THE NEED FOR A SHRINK)


In The Quiet Morning (MIMI WROTE THE SONG, FOR THAT POOR GIRL WHO WAS NO LONGER A NEIGHBOR, JOANNIE SANG IT THE MOST)


JOAN BAEZ & MIMI FARINA "I'm a Poor Wayfaring Stranger" (THE MOST BEAUTIFUL RENDITION OF THIS SONG HANDS DOWN, EVERYTIME PAULETTE WOULD SAY, 'YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE MISSING, YOU BETTER BELIEVE I DID, EXACTLY)


RICHARD & MIMI FARINA ~ Pack Up Your Sorrows ~

PACK UP YOUR SORROWS (AS DONE BY JOAN BAEZ)

No use crying, talking to a stranger,
naming the sorrow you've seen
Too many bad times, too many sad times
Nobody knows what you mean

Chorus:
But if somehow you could pack up your sorrows
and give them all to me
You would lose them, I know how to use them
Give them all to me

No use rambling, walking in the shadows,
trailing a wandering star
No one beside you, no one to hide you
and nobody knows what you are

(Chorus)

No use gambling, running in the darkness,
Looking for a spirit that's free
Too many wrong times, too many long times
Nobody knows what you see

(Chorus)

No use roaming, going by the roadside,
Seeking a satisfied mind
Too many highways, too many byways,
and nobody's walking behind

(Chorus)


JOAN BAEZ & MIMI FARINA "Less Than A Song" (TWO NUTS, BEING WELL, NUTS! HEY IT DOES TAKE ONE TO KNOW ONE, OK?)


JOAN BAEZ & MIMI FARINA - VIVA MI PATRIA (OI, USTEDES SIEMPRE NOS HACIERAN MUY BIEN, DENTRO Y FUERA DEL CARCEL, GRACIAS)


JOAN BAEZ & MIMI FARINA "Swallow Song"


MIMI FARINA & JOAN BAEZ 'How Can I Miss You'


JOAN BAEZ & MIMI FARINA "Catch The Wind"

Catch The Wind BY DONOVAN LEITCH

In the chilly hours and minutes,
Of uncertainty, I want to be,
In the warm hold of your loving mind.

To feel you all around me,
And to take your hand, along the sand,
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind.

When sundown pales the sky,
I wanna hide a while, behind your smile,
And everywhere I'd look, your eyes I'd find.

For me to love you now,
Would be the sweetest thing, 'twould make me sing,
Ah, but I may as well, try and catch the wind.

When rain has hung the leaves with tears,
I want you near, to kill my fears
To help me to leave all my blues behind.

For standin' in your heart,
Is where I want to be, and I long to be,
Ah, but I may as well, try and catch the wind.

Chords:- C,F,G
