Sad news: Richie Havens died yesterday, 22 April, 2013. I am so glad to have had a chance to see him perform. I can truly say that Richie Havens touched my life deeply with his passion and beauty. Here is an article I wrote about the experience, which was about a month
before Jamie and I flew to Buenos Aires to begin our South America
adventure.

Richie Havens performed along with an accompanist on guitar
at the Suwannee Springfest back in March 2009, and I was lucky enough to get to
see him. What a beautiful, shining example of a Wonderful Human Being he is!
Jamie and I were standing together down in the amphitheater, and a good friend
came and enjoyed the show with us, and then another beautiful friend found us,
too. The whole incident was about peace and love and compassion, and was truly
a moving experience.
