Re: RIP Richie Havens
At first I had no clue who he was, until reading the article, I must have watched his performance of Freedom on the Woodstock film about a thousand times... RIP.
The older I get, the more disappointed in myself I become.

Re: RIP Richie Havens
I used to bang away on my acoustic years ago trying to get that kind of sound. Loved his crude style of playing. See you on the other side my friend.

Re: RIP Richie Havens
A old school mate who is now a promoter went on a European tour with him a couple of years ago. Says he was a great guy.
He is Woodstock for me.

RIP Richie. Always dug your way of playing.
