"On my fifth album, he played the dulcimer and Mimi and Bruce and the dog and a bunch of other characters and | had the best time | think | ever had recording. It’s so silly to be adults sometimes. We were all kids who should have been left in the playground most of the time. The ones who love to put pie in the face and hands in the mouth and play grownup, ah, silly, silly. Lush lept about in the middle of the studio, slamming into the microphones and entangling himself in the wires and Dick played the dulcimer and wrestled with Lush and we ended up making a beautiful album in the madness and fun."

Judy Collins and Mimi Fariña - 1966

I keep thinking about Mimi Farina, my friend and someone I miss so much. She and I were singing, here, --was it in Japan? in 1966. We were on tour with Arlo Guthrie and Bruce Langhorne, the wonderful guitar player. Mimi danced, and we sang, and had hysterics every twenty-four hours over something. No one could laugh like Mimi--that giggle, full of mischeiff--Mimi, this one's for you, Mimi--Love, Judy

Debbie Green taught Mimi's sister Joan Baez how to play the guitar beyond the simple strums Joan had learned on her own, and many of the songs that made up Joan's early repertoire. Debbie and Mimi were lifelong friends.
