If she have power then vail your ignorance; if none, awake your dangerous lenity. ...

What a voice and rendition of We Shall Overcome.
ALRIGHT! Joan's voice is still splendid, her message on target, and she is still full of many
projects and much variety. Let the word be known,
Joan and Rev Billy Gorm Jones
