Wines Vines and Joan Baez

We painted at Benjamin Bridge Vineyards in the Gaspereau Valley of Nova Scotia. My view of the vineyards looked down the slope in two directions and up the big hill on the far side. Up on the ridge were a few patches of bright green cleared fields. While painting today, I found out that Joan Baez performed in an open air concert up on that very hill in the summer of 1970. I did not live in Nova Scotia at the time but was fortunate to see Bob Dylan and The Band, Joan Baez, Joni Mitchell and Gordon Lightfoot,  at their Rolling Thunder Review in Toronto in the 1975. Amazing concert!

Anyway, to think that Joan Baez sang high on this hill in this beautiful valley, made my heart happy!
