RICHIE HAVENS: FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS...

…And now forever in the soil of Woodstock.
After dying back in April, it’s now been announced that his ashes will be scattered on August 18th, the 44th anniversary of the last day of the original Woodstock Festival (that my parents wouldn’t let me go to).  A musical tribute will honor the memory of Richie Havens, who unexpectedly opened Woodstock with an almost 3 hour set which culminated in him playing Motherless Child which turned into an improvised song now known as Freedom.
