A great artist and a good and decent man.

giving us things and starts taking them away."
I really hate quoting an Indiana Jones sequel, but whoever wrote that line got it down better than I would have done.
RIP Richie. Thanks for the memories.

I've been kicking myself ever since, but never so hard as today.

This year, it's the David Bromberg Quartet on my birthday!!! I'm going to make SURE I don't
allow myself to accept some lame excuse to myself about not going.

Did not want to say RIP about Richie Havens for a long, long time. He was an artist, a humanitarian, a gentleman and a humble person. Last saw him in '99 at Bethel. He lit up the stage. He was tremendous. He will be so very missed.

Great performance.
