Good afternoon everyone. As always I ask if you can take a moment of silence for so many have died and still dying from this COVID-19 Virus.It still lives within many people of different ages. I just ask to say a prayer or wishes for the families and friends that are unable to be with their loved ones. Give them up to God, peacefully. Thank you very much.
Baez revealed to The Huffington Post that she wrote this song after Bob Dylan called her from a phone booth and sang her the lyrics to his song "Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts." Baez said that this gave her inspiration to write "Diamonds & Rust," and that she lied to Dylan, telling him it was about David Harris, who she was married to from 1968-1973. Bob Dylan rarely reveals much about his songs, but his track "Queen Jane Approximately" is most likely his take on his relationship with Baez.
"Diamonds & Rust" is a song written and performed by Joan Baez. It was written in November 1974 and released in 1975.
In this song, Joan Baez is singing to her former lover Bob Dylan, fondly reminiscing about their 1960s affair. Released as a single, this track became only her second top 40 hit in the States, and her biggest self-composed hit. "Diamonds And Rust" is on her album Diamonds & Rust in the Bullring released
In the song, Baez recounts an out-of-the-blue phone call from an old lover, which sends her a decade back in time, to a "crummy" hotel in Greenwich Village; she recalls giving him a pair of cuff-links, and summarizes that memories bring "diamonds and rust." Baez has stated that the lyrics refer to her relationship with Bob Dylan. in addition to singing on this, Baez played the Moog and Arp Synthesizers. I'd like to thank you very much for your ongoing support.

@sierrajohn Thank you so very much my dear friend. Always loved Baez songs, especially this infamous one. The program I had then wasn't too favorable. But through the years we learn and ones hope your recordings come out well. If you want something good-well you just have to start all over. Same thing with LIFE. Once again John ,thank you dear heart. Love, Dee xox

@qwirky Good afternoon Rich. I hope you're enjoying your travels. I always loved traveling by car or renting a camper & just take off spontaneously for a weekend or for longer and enjoying everything new what we see. That's why I truly love 'freedom'-to do what I want & when. I'd say to my boys; 'come on boys, we're off, then I hear, where mom, a place that you'll always remember'. I wanted them to think of what we did after I die. Thanks for the sunshine u bring me, Rich.Love, Dee xoxo
