Music

"The 21. March 2009 was a bizarre evening", remembers drummer christian jarothe from stadtsteinach. "We played the supporting program at the deuber dance center in modschiedel for the singing farmer, who sang his schafer song. The numerous fans, among them quite a few of mature age, arrived by bus. When we opened our program with hard rock numbers, the dance floor in front of the stage was empty."

The musicians did the only right thing in this situation: they played quieter songs. The cover rockers have not regretted sharing the stage with the tv star to this day. You experienced the hype that surrounded schafer heinrich at the time firsthand. Sangerin suse maue remembers heinrich gersmeier, as the farmer is known by his burger name, as a very sublime and likeable contemporary: "without any stardom, he roused the audience to storms of enthusiasm."

Her bright soprano was the voice of the american protest movement. Peace marches, woodstock, mass demonstrations against the vietnam war, even in prison joan baez sang in the hope of world peace.

In the meantime, the long, black hair has become female and short. Politically she is still. But the voice, says the "queen of folk", the voice is no longer what it used to be.

The high notes no longer come as effortlessly from her lips as they once did. "It’s so hard to sing," she tells the rolling stone. Nevertheless she has recorded a new album. "Whistle down the wind" will probably be her last, she says. What surprises after these honest words: baez voice on it is by no means weak. Deeper perhaps, but powerful. Goosebumps. Joan baez has lost none of her intensity at the age of 77.
