Joan Baez with old J-50

Greg Ballantyne , The last time I saw Joan live was a couple of decades back at Mariposa. When Ed McCurdy and Jamie Snider started to sing Ed's song Last Night I Had The Strangest Dream, Joan walked out on the stage and put her head between them and sang a harmony.
When Ed came to sing at the Cobourg Waterfront Festival, I had the job of taxiing him around.  He told me that Joan had caught him completely by surprise and that he had a huge crush her back in the sixties.  She almost made him forget the words to his own song.  He also did some shameless flirting with my wife.
I'd love to see that 75th Celebration DVD.  I'm still a fan of her music, though I mostly listen to the old vinyl.

Thanks rustystrings61 , I'd forgotten about that post.
I have an attraction to guitars with some miles on them, in fact my newest guitar is a 1962 D-21.

Your comment about a J-45 being re-finished to look like a J-50 got me thinking about some friends' guitars. My friend Cam has a J-45 that had a cherry sunburst and a double pickguard when he got it in the sixties. He had it refinished at the late Toronto Folklore Centre. Here's Cam with his old J-45 at Cobourg's Waterfront Festival:


My nephew Greg's J-45 had already been refinished with a Martin style pickguard applied when he bought it.  His is from the early sixties.
Maggie and I were waiting for the Glenora ferry on the way home from a family reunion and I grabbed my mandolin and did some pickin' at the side of the road.  Greg and Pam were about half a dozen cars behind us, so Greg grabbed his guitar and joined me.  Pam took this photo.



I believe that Gibson now calls sunburst or blonde guitars J-45s and have done away with the term J-50, but I could certainly be wrong.
