guitarz.blogspot.com: Sad news: Richie Havens has died of a heart attack at his home in New Jersey, aged 72. He will be rememebered by many as being the opening act at the legendary 1969 Woodstock Festival. He had a completely unique guitar style, from the way he held the instrument to his very technique - just check out that left thumb in action! The above clip is from Germany's Beat Club in 1971.
