(Some song facts for those who just have to know: The Swallow was written by Richard Farrini who recorded it with his wife, Mimi Farrini (Joan Baez' sister and a grossly underrated singer and guitarist). Joan Baez was supposed to include it on her first electric folk rock album but that album never happened because Farrini, hwo was the producer, passed away only 29 years old. This recording is from a 1995 Joan Baez concert with Mimi Farrini as a guest artist.)
