Joan Baez, who gave voice to the anti-war protests of the 1960s and 1970s, was in Crawford Sunday evening to perform a free concert in support of the protest started by Cindy Sheehan of California.

The concert, in a private pasture offered to the protesters by a local landowner, was expected to attract as many as 1,000 people.

"In the first march I went to (opposing Vietnam) there were 10 of us. This is huge," Baez said as she prepared to perform.

The concert came as still more Bush supporters arrived in Crawford in response to the protest started by Sheehan on Aug. 6.

The pro-Bush camp in downtown Crawford is called “Fort Qualls” for Marine Lance Cpl. Louis Wayne Qualls, 20, who died last fall in Fallujah.

His father, Gary Qualls of Temple, says the anti-war protesters are being disrespectful to U.S. troops.
