Theme: Songs of Richard Fariña.

Richard Fariña was a folksinger, songwriter, dulcimer player and 
novelist, who died in a motorcycle crash in 1966 at age 29. Richard was 
married twice - first to folksinger Carolyn Hester, and then to 
folksinger Mimi Fariña, the younger sister of Joan Baez, with whom he 
recorded three albums, the third of which was released in his memory two 
years after his death, which, tragically, happened on Mimi's 21st 
birthday. While I never met Richard, I did become friends with Mimi when 
she came to play several times at the Golem, the folk club I ran in 
Montreal in the 1970s and '80s.
