In 1968, I discovered an album called, "Baptism" by Joan Baez. It was a collection of folk songs and poems that had been underscored by Peter Schickele of "PDQ Bach" fame. It was unlike anything I had heard. Her haunting voice, those poems that seemed otherworldly, that sophiticated music with unique orchestrations. I fell in love with the album and would put it on when I would go to bed and fall asleep to it. I later found out that it was an anti-war album. I didn't quite realize that when I was listening to it. Some of the selections were overt, but some were more elliptical. I did know that the whole project was touching something in me that was new. I was 13 years old and the Vietnam War had not registered very deeply in my counsciousness. But it opened something in me. Little did I know that a mere 7 years later I would meet Ms. Baez at a Record Bar convention and let her know just how much that record had meant to me.

I decided to feature this album this week on WHAT IN THE WORLD. I put together a show around her songs and poems, songs that speak of peace and war. And just today, this photo of Joan Baez and Zelensky showed up on Facebook. This is how the world works.
