Richie Havens, we hardly knew ye
The guy best known for being the (accidental) first act at Woodstock died yesterday of a heart attack at the age of 72. He had retired from touring last year as he began to ail.
http://www.nytimes.com/2013/04/23/ar...t-72.html?_r=0 I loved his guitar-playing style, and his inimitable renditions of lots of famous tunes (like the one above, "Here Comes the Sun," on and on). |

This is one of those that surprised me. I didn't think of Richie as being all that old. I guess he isn't really, same age as my dad. I always thought he seemed like he'd be a great guy to know.
