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.
