I saw a great husband and wife acoustic duo at Eaton's Beach a few weeks ago. They did a wide variety of styles and were very, very good. He plays guitar and she mostly plays a big African drum but also occasionally plays guitar. Sorry that I can't remember their name, but maybe someone on here can.
Oh Dr. Winston, you should really give her another listen. She wrote "Urge for Going", "Chelsea Morning", "Both Sides, Now", and "The Circle Game" and all were covered and made famous by other artists. Her hits like Woodstock, Help Me, and Big Yellow Taxi were great, and her album "Blue".is a work of art. Her later collaborations with some of the great Jazz artists of that era were not that well known, but were musically delicious. I'm a bit surprised that someone who,loves the Beatles and the music of the 60's doesn't care for Joni. To each his own.
