I was at a Maria Muldaur concert here in Phoenix last night. It was the first time I'd seen her live in performance, even though I'd first encountered her voice in Jim Kweskin Jug Band records in about 1968. For one reason or another, I simply missed her whenever she was doing a show anywhere near where I was living.
Anyway, last night was lovely, she was in good voice, singing a little lower maybe than in her youth, but still able to provide sinuous frills in her vocals as she did in the days of "Midnight at the Oasis," which was a hit 50 years ago. (Yes, the '70s are turning 50.) My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
